If you mean smbfs, then that is an SMB *client* only, not a server. CVE-2017-7494 is specifically about an exploitable bug in Samba's SMB server component. FreeBSD does not provide any SMB server in the base system. That said, I don't know whether there are any security bugs in our smbfs client implementation. It is really a completely different matter. The code seems to have been largely unmaintained for years, though, so purely on that basis it does not inspire a great deal of confidence. -Dimitry
