## Description

LibreOffice has a 'stealth mode' in which only documents from locations
deemed 'trusted' are allowed to retrieve remote resources. This mode is not
the default mode, but can be enabled by users who want to disable
LibreOffice's ability to include remote resources within a document. A flaw
existed where bullet graphics were omitted from this protection prior to
version 6.2.5. This issue affects: Document Foundation LibreOffice versions
prior to 6.2.5.
