Description:
When opening a docx,xlsx,pptx file, LibreOffice tries to access my Firefox's 
certificate store and keychain (as reported by default AppArmor rules provided 
by Canonical on Ubuntu 18.04)
Said files has no digital signature to check, if it were the case, it would be 
required to use system's certificate store and/or seahorse's certificate store.

Affected versions are 6.0.3 provided by Canonical and 6.0.6 provided by
document foundation launchpad PPA.

There are no visible reasons for LibreOffice to try to read anything
from Firefox.

Here are the logs produced by AppArmor when opening such files :

home/Magissia/.mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default/cert8.db" pid=19509 
comm="soffice.bin" requested_mask="w" denied_mask="w" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
Sep 11 18:25:31 Marshmallow kernel: [18154.693846] audit: type=1400 
audit(1536683131.498:70): apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="open" 
profile="libreoffice-soffice" 
name="/home/Magissia/.mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default/key3.db" pid=19509 
comm="soffice.bin" requested_mask="wr" denied_mask="wr" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
Sep 11 18:25:40 Marshmallow kernel: [18163.215743] audit: type=1400 
audit(1536683140.018:71): apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="open" 
profile="libreoffice-soffice" name="/proc/version" pid=19509 comm="soffice.bin" 
requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any docx file created with Microsoft Word 2013 or superior
2. Enjoy invasion of privacy

Actual Results:
LibreOffice tries to read private files that has nothing to do with the 
document or LibreOffice

Expected Results:
Not reading Firefox's files when opening documents


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

I'm removing the duplicate status: bug 118593 is about loading
xmlsecurity at startup even when not needed, whereas this one is a
concern about what xmlsecurity does to access firefox's certificates DB.

I'm not a security expert but this looks like a valid concern to me,
especially since libreoffice requests write mode to cert8.db and
key3.db. Is this really needed? Is there a design doc that explains why?
