Doc Text:
A flaw was found in LibreOffice. When processing linked audio or video files on Linux systems, the application uses the GStreamer multimedia framework for playback. By convincing a victim to open a specially crafted document containing a malicious HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) playlist, an attacker can cause GStreamer to read arbitrary local files or remote resources. This flaw can lead to information disclosure, as the contents of sensitive local files may be exposed directly within the document.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-05 11:38:08 UTC
LibreOffice can link to audio and video files from a document, and on Linux it plays them with GStreamer. A linked media file could be an HLS playlist that made GStreamer read the local files and remote URLs it listed while the document loaded, and their contents could end up in the document. In fixed versions LibreOffice does not follow playlists that name further resources, and linked media is under link update control.
