You're confused -- iOS has nothing whatsoever to do with Linux. It is based on Apple's OS X (now macOS), which was in turn based on NeXTSTEP. Linux is an entirely different OS.

Perhaps you could read up on Windows SMBv1, and its role in the recent WannaCry malware.

In any case, those have nothing to do with Linux.
