+SYN and +FIN

Subject: +SYN and +FIN
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:47:28 -0500
My most recent scheduled scan shows Nessus plugin 11618 is indicating "The 
remote host does not discard TCP SYN packets which have
the FIN flag set."

I understand the implications of not discarding packet's with "unusual"flags.

However, I have not seen this result in the scan report until now. I made no 
changes to the scheduled scan other than updating the plugins. 
My question is why has it started indicating?  Is it a new plugin or an update 
to an old?
