This is a backport of a security relevant fix for RakNet, we discovered. The issue has already been fixed in SLikeNet 0.1.0 (see https://www.slikenet.com/).
We provide this backport for people who prefer to stick with the RakNet project and also in order to easier share this fix with other RakNet forks.

We could/did not calculate a CVSS score, since such score heavily depends on how exactly the 3rd-party-library (IrrlichtEngine) handles the potentially non-null-terminated string. Note that this can also differ between different versions of the 3rd-party-library.

The security implications of the issue should be considered low. It's only an issue in the sample integration and therefore only applies to games/apps which make use of the code provided in RakNetStuff for their integration with the IrrlichtEngine. Since a non-null-terminated string however can result in out of bounds memory access, we decided to treat this issue as a potential security vulnerability.

- fix inconsistent 'g' vs. 'A' check in NonNumericHostString() (fixes #262)
- replace natpunch.jenkinssoftware.com with napunch.slikesoft.com throughout the code and consistently use natpunch.slikesoft.com (instead of slikesoft.com) (#173)

   - supports session based data encryption/decryption
   - support secure memory handling
- corrections related to new (experimental) Crypto::CSecureString() class (#255)
   - rewrote the implementation to use Crypto::CCryptoManager's session data encryption feature (which makes the CSecureString() class compatible with Linux and OSX)
   - changed AddChar() to return the number of written characters (useful for UTF-8-mode)
   - added missing integer overflow check
   - fixed off-by-one checks (incl. off-by-one checks in AddChar() in UTF-8 mode)
   - several compile error/warning fixes
   - added documentation
   - whitespaces
- updated changelog entries (mainly for 0.1.3) (facebookarchive#130, #220, #223, #249, #225, #226, #227, #228, #236, #238, #242, #258, #259, #261, #262, #263, #264, #265, #269)
