CVE-2020-12801 Crash-recovered MSOffice encrypted documents defaulted
to not to using encryption on next save

If LibreOffice has an encrypted document open and crashes, that
document is auto-saved encrypted. On restart, LibreOffice offers to
restore the document and prompts for the password to decrypt it. If the
recovery is successful, and if the file format of the recovered
document was not LibreOffice's default ODF file format, then affected
versions of LibreOffice default that subsequent saves of the document
are unencrypted.
 
This may lead to a user accidentally saving a MSOffice file format
document unencrypted while believing it to be encrypted.

This is fixed, in the 6-3 series with 6.3.6 and in the 6-4 series with
6.4.3
