I recieved similar messages on my system a while ago... On all terminals... 
Rather irritating. Anyway, the word on the street is that somebody tried to 
use a Linux-specific exploit. It seems to happen on my system all the time,

some s'kiddie's subnet exploiter that sees any Unix and assumes Linux.

Or maybe not.
