If we really need them or even both, we have to audit the whole code since I must have clearly missed something when adding the KNOB fix.

I think Alex and I are solving the same problem, either one of the
patches should be enough.

Here is my test method using BlueZ as both the IUT and the lower test.
(1) Copy the bluez/test/test-profile python script to IUT and lower test.
(2) Assign a fake service server to IUT
python test-profile -u 00001fff-0000-1000-2000-123456789abc -s -P 4097
(3) Assign a fake service client to lower test
python test-profile -u 00001fff-0000-1000-2000-123456789abc -c
(4) Make the lower test accept weak encryption key
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/hci0/min_encrypt_key_size
(5) Enable ssp and disable sc on lower test
btmgmt ssp on
btmgmt sc off
(6) Set lower test encryption key size to 1
(7) initiate connection from lower test
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez
/org/bluez/hci0/dev_<IUT> org.bluez.Device1.ConnectProfile
string:00001fff-0000-1000-2000-123456789abc

After MITM authentication, IUT will incorrectly accept the connection,
even though the encryption key used is less than the one specified in
IUT's min_encrypt_key_size.
