They would presumably be the source IP address of whatever the log entry means. A logfile can contains thousands of different kinds of log... care to give us a sample??
That's an iptables log, generally you wouldn't want these entries. run "dmesg -n1" and they'll go away temporarily. Alternatively modify your iptables not to log.

they hit a deny rule on your iptables. run iptables -L -n -v to see your current ruleset. the destination port there is 1433, which is MS SQL I believe... probably a port scan of an internet facing device, or maybe bad port forwarding to a "DMZ" host if you are behind a noddy ADSL router.
