I see this on several systems.  One behind a firewall and I'd guess
never attacked (the firewall doesn't allow inbound anything even ssh).

This is a RH 7.0 system with kernel 2.2.16-22.

netstat is from net-tools-1.56 (RH 7.0).

I suspect it's just a partially built internal file control block of
some sort in the kernel.  Find the process id for "[mdrecoveryd]",
cd to /proc/<processid> and then try to ls the fd directory.

I traced it this far by running a recompiled (COPTS=-g) netstat under gdb
as root with a breakpoint in netstat.c function prg_cache_load where
the variable eacces gets set to 1.  Futher tracing would probably have
to be in the kernel.
