Someone is sending broadcast packages on the eth0 interface. I assume
this is the external (Internet) side of your firewall.

The broadcasts are sent toUDP port 1015. I don't have this port in
/etc/services. I wanted to look it up on http://www.iana.org/ but my
connection is very bad at the moment.
