Privacy / Content of small dumps
In https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/small-memory-dump it is explained that even a small memory dump under windows (limited fixed size, i think 64 / 256 kb) will contain "additional memory pages that Windows identifies as being useful in debugging failures. This includes the data pages that the registers were pointing to when the crash occurred, and other pages specifically requested by the faulting component."
Unfortunately, i did noty study IT and allthough I read quite much about this, I just cant understand what that means. Does this mean that data of the User located in the memory (personal data in the RAM, eg. Content of Text Dokuments, the Browser and so on) are included in such small dump?
That sounds quite strange, because why should e.g. an image be included in this small file, i cant imagine how such data could be useful for debugging and it wastes very much memory compared to the small dump size of some kb.
