This is my conclusion as well.  I was disappointed to see the ISS software
so easily confused.  A "Connection Event" should be looking exclusively at
the initiation packet (SYN) and not any old packet headed for a particular
destination port.  Hopefully, this is something ISS can correct?

That's the return packet (probably a SYN-ACK) establishing the second half
of the connection -- ie when a client sends a SYN to a server to open a
connection, the server responds with a SYN-ACK that simultaneously
acknowledges the connection request and sets up the return half of the
conversation. This is why the next XPU (which will hopefully contain the
signatures for this worm) is being awaited so anxiously...
