A couple of things...first, port 27374 is the default
port for both SubSeven, as well as the Ramen worm
(Linux).  Therefore, a SYN packet destined for that
port is, in and of itself, inconclusive.

Second, I'm sure you're aware that default ports are
just that, and in many cases, configurable.

It's NetBus's default port (1.7x and previous
versions).

Given that these SYN packets are dropped by the f/w
(in most cases), they simply seem to be scans at this
point.   As far as vulnerabilities are concerned, they
may or may not be...but if there's a trojan installed
on a system, the admin has more to worry about than
vulnerabilities.
