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