Since yesterday, the kern.log of the relay I'm running is flooded with "TCP: drop open request from".

I first thought it was a kind of DDOS on our servers but it seems to be related to Tor (When I stop Tor, kernel doesn't complain anymore).

Does somebody have an idea of why this is happening and what to do to mitigate it?

What operating system, kernel, etc?

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/9716 looks related if you're in BSD-land.
