Bug Description

IP-MIB defines ipDefaultRouterLifetime to be in 0..65535 range, but the current code 1) erroneously uses 0xFFFFFFFFUL (4294967296) as the max value, and 2) does not clip the computed value that exceeds the maximum (this was unnecessary probably because the max value was also the max value permitted for the underlying type uint32_t).

The attached patch – also submitted upstream, https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/code/merge-requests/11/ – fixes this problem.

To reproduce:

$ snmptable -Ci -v2c -c<REDACTED> localhost IP-MIB::ipDefaultRouterTable
SNMP table: IP-MIB::ipDefaultRouterTable

             index ipDefaultRouterLifetime ipDefaultRouterPreference
ipv4."10.15.2.1".3 4294967295 seconds medium
