CVE-2023-46839
PCI devices can make use of a functionality called phantom functions, that when enabled allows the device to generate requests using the IDs of functions that are otherwise unpopulated. This allows a device to extend the number of outstanding requests.
Such phantom functions need an IOMMU context setup, but failure to setup the context is not fatal when the device is assigned. Not failing device assignment when such failure happens can lead to the primary device being assigned to a guest, while some of the phantom functions are assigned to a different domain.

Esto permite que un dispositivo extienda la cantidad de solicitudes pendientes. Estas funciones fantasma necesitan una configuración de contexto IOMMU, pero no configurar el contexto no es fatal cuando el dispositivo está asignado. No fallar la asignación del dispositivo cuando ocurre tal falla puede provocar que el dispositivo principal se asigne a un invitado, mientras que algunas de las funciones fantasma se asignan a un dominio diferente."
