-Security checks
----------------
-
-### Security history
-
-The only past security issues I could find in GNU gettext and po4a
-are:
-
-- [CVE-2004-0966](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0966),
- *i.e.* [Debian bug #278283](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278283):
- the autopoint and gettextize scripts in the GNU gettext package
- 1.14 and later versions, as used in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5
- through 2.1 and other operating systems, allows local users to
- overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
-- [CVE-2007-4462](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4462):
- `lib/Locale/Po4a/Po.pm` in po4a before 0.32 allows local users to
- overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the
- gettextization.failed.po temporary file.
-
-**FIXME**: check whether this plugin would have been a possible attack
-vector to exploit these vulnerabilities.
-
-Depending on my mood, the lack of found security issues can either
-indicate that there are none, or reveal that no-one ever bothered to
-find (and publish) them.
-
-### PO file features
-
-Can any sort of directives be put in po files that will cause mischief
-(ie, include other files, run commands, crash gettext, whatever)?
-
-> No [documented](http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#PO-Files)
-> directive is supposed to do so.
-
-### Running po4a on untrusted content
-
-Are there any security issues on running po4a on untrusted content?
-
-> To say the least, this issue is not well covered, at least publicly:
->
-> - the documentation does not talk about it;
-> - grep'ing the source code for `security` or `trust` gives no answer.
->
-> I'll ask their opinion to the po4a maintainers.
->
-> I'm not in a position to audit the code, but I had a look anyway:
->
-> - no use of `system()`, `exec()` or backticks in `Locale::Po4a`; are
-> there any other way to run external programs in Perl?
-> - a symlink attack vulnerability was already discovered, so I "hope"
-> the code has been checked to find some more already
-> - the po4a parts we are using themselves use the following Perl
-> modules: `DynaLoader`, `Encode`, `Encode::Guess`,
-> `Text::WrapI18N`, `Locale::gettext` (`bindtextdomain`,
-> `textdomain`, `gettext`, `dgettext`)
->
-> --[[intrigeri]]
-
-### Fuzzing input
-
-I was not able to find any public information about gettext or po4a
-having been tested with a fuzzing program, such as `zzuf` or `fusil`.
-Moreover, some gettext parsers seem to be quite
-[easy to crash](http://fusil.hachoir.org/trac/browser/trunk/fuzzers/fusil-gettext),
-so it might be useful to bang gettext/po4a's heads against such
-a program in order to easily detect some of the most obvious DoS.
-[[--intrigeri]]
-
-gettext/po4a rough corners
---------------------------
-
-- fix infinite loop when synchronizing two ikiwiki (when checkouts
- live in different directories): say bla.fr.po has been updated in
- repo2; pulling repo2 from repo1 seems to trigger a PO update, that
- changes bla.fr.po in repo1; then pushing repo1 to repo2 triggers
- a PO update, that changes bla.fr.po in repo2; etc.; quickly fixed in
- `629968fc89bced6727981c0a1138072631751fee`, by disabling references
- in Pot files. Using `Locale::Po4a::write_if_needed` might be
- a cleaner solution.
-- new translations created in the web interface must get proper
- charset/encoding gettext metadata, else the next automatic PO update
- removes any non-ascii chars; possible solution: put such metadata
- into the Pot file, and let it propagate; should be fixed in
- `773de05a7a1ee68d2bed173367cf5e716884945a`, time will tell.
-
-Misc. improvements
-------------------
-
-### page titles
-
-Use nice page titles from meta plugin in links, as inline already
-does. This is actually a duplicate for
-[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]], which might
-be fixed by something like [[todo/using_meta_titles_for_parentlinks]].
-
-Translation quality assurance
------------------------------
-
-Modifying a PO file via the CGI must be forbidden if the new version
-is not a valid PO file. As a bonus, check that it provides a more
-complete translation than the existing one.
-
-A new `cansave` type of hook would be needed to implement this.
-
-Note: committing to the underlying repository is a way to bypass
-this check.
+Better links
+------------
+
+Once the fix to
+[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]] from
+[[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged into ikiwiki upstream, the
+generated links' text will be optionally based on the page titles set
+with the [[meta|plugins/meta]] plugin, and will thus be translatable.
+It will also allow displaying the translation status in links to slave
+pages. Both were implemented, and reverted in commit
+ea753782b222bf4ba2fb4683b6363afdd9055b64, which should be reverted
+once [[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged.
+
+An integration branch, called `meta-po`, merges [[intrigeri]]'s `po`
+and `meta` branches, and thus has thise additional features.
+
+Robustness tests
+----------------
+
+### Enabling/disabling the plugin
+
+* enabling the plugin with `po_translatable_pages` set to blacklist: **OK**
+* enabling the plugin with `po_translatable_pages` set to whitelist: **OK**
+* enabling the plugin without `po_translatable_pages` set: **OK**
+* disabling the plugin: **OK**
+
+### Changing the plugin config
+
+* adding existing pages to `po_translatable_pages`: **OK**
+* removing existing pages from `po_translatable_pages`: **OK**
+* adding a language to `po_slave_languages`: **OK**
+* removing a language from `po_slave_languages`: **OK**
+* changing `po_master_language`: **OK**
+* replacing `po_master_language` with a language previously part of
+ `po_slave_languages`: needs two rebuilds, but **OK** (this is quite
+ a perverse test actually)
+
+### Creating/deleting/renaming pages
+
+All cases of master/slave page creation/deletion/rename, both via RCS
+and via CGI, have been tested.
+
+### Misc
+
+* general test with `usedirs` disabled: **OK**
+* general test with `indexpages` enabled: **not OK**
+* general test with `po_link_to=default` with `userdirs` enabled: **OK**
+* general test with `po_link_to=default` with `userdirs` disabled: **OK**
+
+Misc. bugs
+----------
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Maybe write separate documentation depending on the people it targets:
+translators, wiki administrators, hackers. This plugin may be complex
+enough to deserve this.
