From: Haotian Jiang <[email protected]> cxl_doe_cdat_rsp() takes ent = req->entry_handle (uint16_t, fully guest-controlled, 0..0xFFFF) and directly indexes cdat->entry[ent] without checking ent < cdat->entry_len. For a default cxl-type3 with one volatile memory region, entry_len = 1 + CT3_CDAT_NUM_ENTRIES = 7, so any entry_handle >= 7 reads past the CDATEntry array into host heap. The OOB-read base/length are then used in memcpy(read_mbox + offset, base, len) at cxl_type3.c:298-299, leaking host heap memory to the guest via PCI_EXP_DOE_RD_DATA_MBOX, and potentially overflowing the 1 MiB read_mbox heap buffer when the OOB length field is large. The same bug exists in the cxl-upstream implementation. Existing checks do not bound ent: assert(cdat->entry_len) only ensures the table is loaded; the minimum-length check only guards against a truncated CDATReq; the entry_handle ternary at line 293 only decides the next-handle echo, not the current access; pcie_doe_get_obj_len reads header.length, not entry_handle. Reproduce: build QEMU with CONFIG_CXL, boot -M q35,cxl=on -device pxb-cxl,bus_nr=52 ... -device cxl-type3,... then send a CDATReq with entry_handle=0xFFFF via the DOE mailbox at config offset 0x190. Under ASAN this reports SEGV in cxl_doe_cdat_rsp at cxl_type3.c:281.
