>Description:
When fuzzing NetBSD kernel with syzkaller and our generated syscall descriptions, we encountered an issue: assert failed: uio->uio_iovcnt > NUM. This issues is reproducible in a recent version of NetBSD kernel (commit fcca2226d50a3222f4010b6ef59cb5a1f9aa319b).

The kernel console output, kernel config, and reproducers are available at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1piVZfvjQM42c_XGOd16fq9h63jg55feN?usp=sharing

The symbolized issue report is also shown below to help with analysis:
