Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mtd: spi-nor: sst: Fix SST write failure<br />
<br />
&#39;commit 18bcb4aa54ea ("mtd: spi-nor: sst: Factor out common write operation<br />
to `sst_nor_write_data()`")&#39; introduced a bug where only one byte of data<br />
is written, regardless of the number of bytes passed to<br />
sst_nor_write_data(), causing a kernel crash during the write operation.<br />
Ensure the correct number of bytes are written as passed to<br />
sst_nor_write_data().<br />
<br />
