Hi,
I've a Linux server for the F-Secure Policy Manager Server 11.31. Some months ago Linux logfile started to grow. Twice a hour there are many lines indicating invalid packets. I guess it's something to do with connection tracking.

Finally I found same time stamps in the log file fspms-software-updater.log. So it seems to me there is something different in the network connection while downloading the Software Updater database compared to the virus database downloading.
