Yep. It was tcp-connections from the windows box (infected by the worm) to
some network-ranges on the internet. source-port was pretty much random, but
the destination was always 80. So the normal 'allow web browsing' rules
allowed the worm to DoS the linux-firewall.
It just opened the connections all the time, but didn't close them.
