SYN FIN packets allowed on and through fw

Hi, our PCI vendor, Trustwave, flagged us on the following, both for the 8.102 firewall itself (on the webadmin port), and for servers behind our 7.509 firewall. I'm guessing both versions are allowing it, but the scan missed it due to portscan detection or something.

System Responds to SYN+FIN TCP Packets
This device responded to a TCP packet with both the SYN and FIN
bits set. Such packets do not occur in typical network traffic, but can
be used by attackers to bypass the security rules configured in nonstateful
firewalls and establish connections with protected hosts.

Service: apache:http_server (astaro 8.102)
Service: https (ubuntu server behind 7.509)
Thanks,
