hw/i386/intel_iommu: guest-controlled PASID-IOTLB AM causes shift-out-of-bounds and incorrect invalidation size
I can trigger a host-side UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer shift-out-of-bounds report in current QEMU master through the Intel VT-d queued invalidation path when scalable mode / PASID support is enabled.
The issue is in the PASID-IOTLB PSI invalidation handling. The guest-controlled Address Mask (`AM`) field is copied from the PASID-IOTLB invalidation descriptor and is used directly in 32-bit shift expressions:
```c
static bool vtd_process_piotlb_desc(IntelIOMMUState *s,
VTDInvDesc *inv_desc)
{
...
case VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_PSI_IN_PASID:
am = VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_AM(inv_desc->val[1]);
addr = (hwaddr) VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_ADDR(inv_desc->val[1]);
vtd_piotlb_page_invalidate(s, domain_id, pasid, addr, am,
VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_IH(inv_desc));
break;
...
}
```
The sink is:
```c
static void vtd_piotlb_page_invalidate(IntelIOMMUState *s, uint16_t domain_id,
uint32_t pasid, hwaddr addr, uint8_t am,
bool ih)
{
VTDIOTLBPageInvInfo info;
info.domain_id = domain_id;
info.pasid = pasid;
info.addr = addr;
info.mask = ~((1 << am) - 1);
vtd_iommu_lock(s);
g_hash_table_foreach_remove(s->iotlb,
vtd_hash_remove_by_page_piotlb, &info);
vtd_flush_host_piotlb_all_locked(s, domain_id, pasid, addr, 1 << am, ih);
vtd_iommu_unlock(s);
vtd_iotlb_page_invalidate_notify(s, domain_id, addr, am, pasid);
}
```
`VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_AM()` extracts a 6-bit field:
```c
#define VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_AM(val) ((val) & 0x3fULL)
```
Therefore a guest can provide `AM = 63`. On the tested build this reaches `1 << 63`, which is undefined behavior because the left operand is a 32-bit `int`. The same unbounded `am` value is also propagated to `vtd_iotlb_page_invalidate_notify()`, which computes an invalidation size from another `1 << am` expression.
For comparison, the normal IOTLB page invalidation path validates `AM` before calling its page-invalidation helper:
```c
case VTD_INV_DESC_IOTLB_PAGE:
domain_id = VTD_INV_DESC_IOTLB_DID(inv_desc->lo);
addr = VTD_INV_DESC_IOTLB_ADDR(inv_desc->hi);
am = VTD_INV_DESC_IOTLB_AM(inv_desc->hi);
if (am > VTD_MAMV) {
error_report_once(...);
return false;
}
vtd_iotlb_page_invalidate(s, domain_id, addr, am);
break;
```
The PASID-IOTLB path lacks an equivalent safe range check or overflow-safe size calculation.
## Environment
I reproduced this on current master in the following environment:
- host: x86_64 Linux
- QEMU commit: `b83371668192a705b878e909c5ae9c1233cbd5fb`
- build: `../configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-ubsan --disable-werror`
- machine: `q35`
- device/configuration used for reproduction: `intel-iommu,scalable-mode=on,pasid-bits=20`
## Steps to reproduce
Build a UBSan QEMU:
```text
mkdir build-ubsan
cd build-ubsan
../configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-ubsan --disable-werror
ninja -j$(nproc) qemu-system-x86_64
cd ..
```
Save the following as `repro_intel_iommu_piotlb_am_shift_ub.sh`:
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
QEMU=${QEMU:-./build-ubsan/qemu-system-x86_64}
UBSAN_OPTIONS=${UBSAN_OPTIONS:-halt_on_error=1:print_stacktrace=1} \
timeout 5s "$QEMU" \
-display none \
-nodefaults \
-machine q35,accel=qtest \
-m 128M \
-device intel-iommu,scalable-mode=on,pasid-bits=20 \
-qtest stdio <<'QTEST'

# Put one 256-bit queued-invalidation descriptor at guest physical 0x10000.

writeq 0xfed90088 0x0000000000000020

QTEST
```
Run:
```text
chmod +x repro_intel_iommu_piotlb_am_shift_ub.sh
./repro_intel_iommu_piotlb_am_shift_ub.sh
```
## Security boundary note
The reproducer uses qtest only for deterministic MMIO and guest-memory setup. The affected path is the Intel VT-d virtual IOMMU queued invalidation interface exposed to guests on an x86_64 `q35` virtualization machine when `intel-iommu` is configured with scalable/PASID support.
This is not a qtest-only issue: a guest that can program the VT-d queued invalidation registers can place a PASID-IOTLB PSI invalidation descriptor in guest memory and submit it through the emulated IOMMU MMIO interface.
The immediate sanitizer finding is undefined behavior in the host process. The non-sanitized impact is also security-relevant logic risk: the same guest-controlled `AM` value is used to compute the PASID-IOTLB removal mask and the invalidation length sent to host/notifier paths. A miscomputed invalidation range may under-invalidate or otherwise incorrectly invalidate translations, which is especially relevant for virtual IOMMU configurations involving device assignment / iommufd-style notifier paths.
## UBSan output
With a UBSan build this aborts the host process with:
```text

```
The triggering qtest output before the abort is:
```text
OK 0x0000000000000010
OK
OK
OK
```
## Suggested fix
The PASID-IOTLB PSI path should avoid using an unchecked 6-bit guest field in 32-bit shifts. A minimal hardening fix is to validate `am` before calling `vtd_piotlb_page_invalidate()`, and to ensure the invalidation size/mask calculations cannot overflow.
For example:
```c
case VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_PSI_IN_PASID:
am = VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_AM(inv_desc->val[1]);
addr = (hwaddr)VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_ADDR(inv_desc->val[1]);
if (am > VTD_MAMV) {
error_report_once("%s: invalid piotlb inv desc: hi=0x%"PRIx64
", lo=0x%"PRIx64" (am=%u > VTD_MAMV=%u)",
__func__, inv_desc->val[1], inv_desc->val[0],
am, (unsigned)VTD_MAMV);
return false;
}
vtd_piotlb_page_invalidate(s, domain_id, pasid, addr, am,
VTD_INV_DESC_PIOTLB_IH(inv_desc));
break;
```
If PASID-IOTLB must accept a wider `AM` range than `VTD_MAMV` for spec compliance, the fix should still reject or saturate values that cannot be represented safely by QEMU's mask/length types, and should replace all `1 << am` expressions in this path with explicitly sized, overflow-checked arithmetic.
