From: Archie Pusaka <apusaka@xxxxxxxxxxxx> When receiving connection, we only check whether the link has been encrypted, but not the encryption key size of the link. This patch adds check for encryption key size, and reject L2CAP connection which size is below the specified threshold (default 7) with security block. Here is some btmon trace. @ MGMT Event: New Link Key (0x0009) plen 26 {0x0001} [hci0] 5.847722 Store hint: No (0x00) BR/EDR Address: 38:00:25:F7:F1:B0 (OUI 38-00-25) Key type: Unauthenticated Combination key from P-192 (0x04) Link key: 7bf2f68c81305d63a6b0ee2c5a7a34bc PIN length: 0 > HCI Event: Encryption Change (0x08) plen 4 #29 [hci0] 5.871537 Status: Success (0x00) Handle: 256 Encryption: Enabled with E0 (0x01) < HCI Command: Read Encryp...
