535595 - Audit site for truncated pages

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[David Boswell]

We've received a few reports lately that there are some pages with missing information.  So far they seem to all be in the security directory but we should check all pages if possible (not sure if there's a way to automate a search).

For background, I received an email a few days ago about missing information on

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/index.html

I manually added back the information from content on the archived version of the page.

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc?limit_changes=100&view=revision&revision=57655

Then dveditz reported that some information was missing from

http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox30.html

It seems like this is an error that came up during the transition from the old CVS-based site to the new SVN-based site, but we should check to make sure this information wasn't intentionally removed by someone and then check to see if we can find out if other pages are missing parts.

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz] out until Nov 10]

For my page the information disappeared between r50007 and r50044 and was not intentionally removed by me. The comment for that check-in was "Run conversion to new template on files that were updated during development" and it added the PHP header and footer cruft. The footer addition appears to have eaten the last 19 and a half lines of the original content.

I don't see any funky characters in the truncated line that might have fooled the conversion script:

-    Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.2/1.8.1.17)<br>
+    Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.
(followed by 19 more deleted lines and then the php footer)

Closing old Mozilla.org website bugs due to them not being relevant to the new Python-based Bedrock system. Re-open if this is a critical bug and should be resolved on the new system too.
