Hi Gustavo,

The packet we are sending is:

Bluetooth L2CAP Packet
    Length: 266
    CID: 0x0001
    Command: Configure Response
        Command Code: Configure Response (0x05)
        Command Identifier: 0x02
        Command Length: 262
        Source CID: 0x0040
        .... .... .... ...0 = Continuation Flag: False
        Result: Failure - unacceptable parameters (0x0001)
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
        Option: MTU
.............

We can check of course that parameter MTU is already exist. Still
there is possibility to overwrite 64 bytes of req buffer so some check
is needed.
