Doesn't look like a problem with the FWSM, it is blocking what the
"outside-in" acl has been configured to block. If that traffic is
hitting the outside interface it's not likely due to any configuration
on the FWSM itself. The source address in that log message is where
you should start looking. Could be an indication of someone trying to
probe, or a simple misconfiguration (mask, proxy arp as others have
suggested already).
