Windows mapped drives

Hello. I have question concerning windows mapped drives. I have a setup
that involves a privately addressed, internal windows host (10.x.x.x)
mapping a drive to a windows server that resides off of a less-secure
(but not the Internet) interface on a six-port firewall. Barring that
the server is hardened and updated and the ACLs in the firewall allow
the connection from the internal host to the server (stateful firewall)
and not vice versa, are we opening up any risks in the direction from
the server to the internal host because of the mapped drive? Thanks.
