Probably:

    git rm -r .
    git add EQNEDT32.EXE
    git commit -m "Fixed CVE-2017-11882"
    git push

(Provided someone automatically updated the code repository to git or some other modern tool in the past 17 years.)

I've done this in the past by checking in both a binary as well as a diff to the previous version. It's sometimes helpful to have both if your SCM doesn't handle binary diffs well.
