Any application you use will potentially make you vulnerable to exploits being sent to that application/port which is opened up in the firewall. So that is why you need to be careful on exactly what applications get used on your LAN. If you open up a certain port, you run the risk of unintended traffic coming into your network through that port. Firewalls themselves cannot distinguish between bad traffic and good traffic going through a port you opened up. That's where getting some form of IDS on your network will help you ensure only good traffic is coming/going through your LAN.
