    Couldn’t it, though? 🤔

    IANAD and AFAIU, not in kernel mode. Things like trying to read non existing memory in kernel mode are supposed to crash the system because continuing could be worse.

        They could and clearly they should have done that but hindsight is 20/20. Software is complex and there’s a lot of places that invalid data could come in.
