UDP: bad checksum entries in syslog - an attack?

I've got entries like these in my syslog. 7 times this past week.

I have port 51413 forwarded to my server for Transmission BT client, but port 1109 to 1115 are not open. I have confirmed those to be 'stealth' with GRC's shields up.

 

I also have 4 of these this past week:

Jan  2 15:07:07 FileServer kernel: python[15327]: segfault at 58 ip 000000000052c8d8 sp 00002ab640800140 error 4 in python2.7[400000+2bd000] (Errors)

I'm running dockers for sickbeard and couchpotato both of which are python apps - but the above does not give any hint as to which one crashed. They seem to be running fine everytime I access them. I also understand the phusion baseimage uses python for some init tasks.

 

Googling seems to suggest there is an 'udp short packet attack' that can crash apps on a server under attack. Should I be worried?

 

And why am I seeing stuff on port 1115 which isn't exposed to the internet???

I've been seeing a few of these as well, i'd just attributed them to torrents i had running with Deluge
