It reads ej->maxphyaddr, which is user controlled.

After cpuid_entries there is

        int maxphyaddr;
        struct x86_emulate_ctxt emulate_ctxt;  /* 16-byte aligned */

So indeed we have:

- cpuid_entries at offset 1B50 (6992)
- maxphyaddr at offset 27D0 (6992 + 3200 = 10192)
- padding at 27D4...27DF
- emulate_ctxt at 27E0

So this indeed writes in the padding.  Pfew, writing the ops field of
emulate_ctxt would have been much worse.

Thanks,

Paolo
