I'm sorry if these questions were already answered, i browsed a bit but couldn't find what i really want to know.
I have a rather slow USB flash drive connected to the router.. either that or it's the router's fault because the cpu sticks to 100% when writing (at around 8.5MB/s) and 90% when reading (around 12MB/s).. anyway, using SMBv1 or SMBv2 get's me the same speeds and the same cpu utilization.
What i really wanted to know is if my network is really compromised if i instead used SMBv1 and why? Assuming that i trust every device in my network, is it still at risk? And what's exactly at risk, the router itself? Doesn't firmware 380.66_4 mitigate this by fixing CVE-2017-7494?
Also, every time i upload something to the same USB flash drive, the router's ram usage increases from 15% to 75% and will never drop again unless i reboot, is this normal?
Thanks in advance.
