The only thing that comes to mind is that 168.79.113.141 might be getting in under the "--state RELATED" rule if you had an outgoing connection to that IP it would possibly be able to get back in.

Hi, I have iptables-1.2.7a and 2.4.26 kernel and there is something
strange.
I have the following rule:
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s 0/0 --protocol tcp --destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s IP_ADDR --protocol tcp --destination-port 22 -j
ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -j DROP
So I expect that only the specified IP_ADDR can ssh to port 22 in my
server.
But in /var/log/secure I see that some other IP's for example
168.179.113.141 try to login to ssh with different user names to my
server.
However, then I try ssh to that server not from IP_ADDR I can not, as
expected.
Please tell me how this 168.179.113.141 bypass my firewall.
Thank you very much,
Vladimir
