History Repeats
This design error is history repeating itself. Back in the seventies the 1970's the CDC 7600 had a similar design flaw. A process would reference an out-of-bound memory address which would stop execution. However, the contents of the out-of bounds address would be in a register of the image of the stopped process. Using a parent process to repeatedly access low memory by the child process, all of low memory was read. This is where pass words were stored, unencrypted at the time. Seymour Cray made a hardware fix which was the right things to do.
