Bluetooth: Add workaround for broken OS X legacy SMP pairing
OS X version 10.10.2 (and possibly older versions) doesn't support LE Secure Connections but incorrectly copies all authentication request bits from a Security Request to its Pairing Request. The result is that an SC capable initiator (such as BlueZ) will think OS X intends to do SC when in fact it's incapable of it: < ACL Data TX: Handle 3585 flags 0x00 dlen 6 SMP: Security Request (0x0b) len 1 Authentication requirement: Bonding, No MITM, SC, No Keypresses (0x09) > ACL Data RX: Handle 3585 flags 0x02 dlen 11 SMP: Pairing Request (0x01) len 6 IO capability: KeyboardDisplay (0x04) OOB data: Authentication data not present (0x00) Authentication requirement: Bonding, No MITM, SC, No Keypresses (0x09) Max encryption key size: 16 Initiator key distribution: EncKey (0x01) Responder key distribution: EncKey IdKey Sign (0x07) < ACL Data TX: Handle 3585 flags 0x00 dlen 11 SMP: Pairing Response (0x02) len 6 IO capability: NoInputNoOutput (0x03) OOB data: Authentication data not present (0x00) Authentication requirement: Bonding, No MITM, SC, No Keypresses (0x09) Max encryption key size: 16 Initiator key distribution: EncKey (0x01) Responder key distribution: EncKey Sign (0x05) The pairing eventually fails when we get an unexpected Pairing Confirm PDU instead of a Public Key PDU: > ACL Data RX: Handle 3585 flags 0x02 dlen 21 SMP: Pairing Confirm (0x03) len 16 Confim value: bcc3bed31b8f313a78ec3cce32685faf It is only at this point that we can speculate that the remote doesn't really support SC. This patch creates a workaround for the just-works model, however the MITM case is unsolvable because the OS X user has already been requested to enter a PIN which we're now expected to randomly generate and show the user (i.e. a chicken-and-egg problem).
