DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Explzh, which can be exploited
by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading an
executable file in an insecure manner and can be exploited by
tricking a user into e.g. opening a ZIP or LZH file located on a
remote SMB share.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the application during installation was configured to
be associated with e.g. ZIP or LZH files (non-default option).

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 5.68.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.68.
