In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: l2cap: Check encryption key size on incoming connection

This is required for passing GAP/SEC/SEM/BI-04-C PTS test case:
Security Mode 4 Level 4, Responder - Invalid Encryption Key Size
- 128 bit

This tests the security key with size from 1 to 15 bytes while the
Security Mode 4 Level 4 requests 16 bytes key size.

Currently PTS fails with the following logs:
- expected:Connection Response:
Code: [3 (0x03)] Code
Identifier: (lt)WildCard: Exists(gt)
Length: [8 (0x0008)]
Destination CID: (lt)WildCard: Exists(gt)
