CVE-2025-21845

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 sstnorwritedata(), causing a kernel crash during the write operation. Ensure the correct number of bytes are written as passed to sstnorwritedata().
