TCP: tcp_parse_options: Illegal window scaling value 15 > 14 received



I'm seeing this error over and over in /var/log/messages:

Sep  6 05:02:42 hostname kernel: [408794.655182] TCP: tcp_parse_options: Illegal window scaling value 15 > 14 received
Sep  6 05:02:43 hostname kernel: [408794.830639] TCP: tcp_parse_options: Illegal window scaling value 15 > 14 received
Sep  6 05:02:43 hostname kernel: [408794.960811] TCP: tcp_parse_options: Illegal window scaling value 15 > 14 received
Sep  6 05:02:43 hostname kernel: [408795.180464] TCP: tcp_parse_options: Illegal window scaling value 15 > 14 received

I've not been able to find much about these messages by searching,
nothing useful is coming up.  Is anyone else seeing something like
this?  Is this some sort of attack?

Please cc me on replies, thanks.
