A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's netdevsim driver in the nsim_dev_health_break_write() function, where improper handling of zero or large input values leads to a kernel crash. This flaw occurs when the input count is either too small or excessively large, causing system instability, which can result in a denial of service due to the kernel crash.
