If you don't use samba for sharing files with macos or windows pcs over network then you can simply remove it.
By default samba is installed but not activated.
It is purely there so you will have the option in dolphin to share folders easily.
If you updated your package to version 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.7 (which should come as a normal update) it includes the fix for CVE-2017-7494.
This update did come out last week already.
