Q: ping flood /mach_kernel  what is this?

I am receiving the following message:

Symantec Notification

X  vulnerability BLOCKED

when: Apr 3, 2016, 10:38:01 PM

From:  [ip adderss]

Attack Name: Ping Flood

Application: /mach_kernel

 

What does this mean and what can I do to "fix" this as I get this message 15-20 times in 2 hours.

THANKS!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
