You should at least provide the md5 of the downloaded exe.
Then you should upload it to virustotal.com for analysis.

This is standard from my experience, so I went to the Cygwin home page and downloaded the latest setup-x86_64.exe, version Cygwin DLL 2.5.1 (overwriting the previous version I had saved).

Not savy enough (yet) to dig into the bits inside setup-x86_64.exe and confirm the threat is real.
