shaft client to handler?

I got these message from my Snort sensor earlier today. What concerns
me is that the machine in question is my firewall (runs OpenBSD 2.9),
so even though the Snort rule triggers on the port # (I think), it
shouldn't be valid traffic. Also, in the several hours previous, I've
been seeing lots of large ICMP packets and "Communication
Administratively Prohibited" traffic to various hosts on the internal
network.

Have I potentially been compromised, or is this "scatter" traffic"?
