That comment in the Release Notes suggests an update to smbclient which is used by Frontview (web-admin interface of the NAS) backup jobs which are configured under Backup in Frontview. When running a Frontview backup job the NAS is the client and your PC is the server, whereas when you run a backup job on your PC (e.g. for when doing a Windows 8 Image Backup) the NAS is the server and the PC is the client.

Though as I mentioned above the version of smbd used in 4.1.12 is still newer than the one in 4.1.10.
