"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200702-12
(CHMlib: User-assisted remote execution of arbitrary code)

    When certain CHM files that contain tables and objects stored in pages
    are parsed by CHMlib, an unsanitized value is passed to the alloca()
    function resulting in a shift of the stack pointer to arbitrary memory
    locations.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CHM file,
    resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of
    the user viewing the file.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
