The link you gave say:

Check Point researcher Liad Mizrachi has conducted research showing that .chm  
files can be used to execute code on a victim computer running Microsoft  
Windows Vista, and higher.


Although GNU/Linux is certainly "higher" than any version of Windows, I do  
not think that sentence includes it!  :-)
