## Description

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)     Source CID: [64 (0x0040)]     Result: [3 (0x0003)] Connection refused - Security block     Status: (lt)WildCard: Exists(gt), but received:Connection Response:     Code: [3 (0x03)] Code     Identifier: [1 (0x01)]     Length: [8 (0x0008)]     Destination CID: [64 (0x0040)]     Source CID: [64 (0x0040)]     Result: [0 (0x0000)] Connection Successful     Status: [0 (0x0000)] No further information available  And HCI logs: < HCI Command: Read Encrypti..
