It is the annoying ufw logging. You can turn it off. It is also possible to configure ufw to use a different log channel, thus it won't contaminate dmesg, but it is very tricky (might require even a little ufw patch).

The existing answer is correct in its technical analysis of the firewall log entry, but it's missing one point that makes the conclusion incorrect. The packet
- Is a
RST(reset) packet - from
SRC=35.162.106.154 - to your host at
DST=104.248.41.4 - via
TCP - from his port
SPT=25 - to your port
DPT=50616 - and has been
BLOCKed by UFW.
Port 25 (the source port) is commonly used for email. Port 50616 is in the ephemeral port range, meaning there's no consistent user for this port. A TCP "reset" packet can be sent in response to a number of unexpected situations, such as data arriving after a connection has been closed, or data being sent without first establishing a connection.
35.162.106.154 reverse-resolves to cxr.mx.a.cloudfilter.net, a domain used by the CloudMark email filtering service.
Your computer, or someone pretending to be your computer, is sending data to one of CloudMark's servers. The data is arriving unexpectedly, and the server is responding with a RST to ask the sending computer to stop. Given that the firewall is dropping the RST rather than passing it through to some application, the data that's causing the RST to be sent isn't coming from your computer. Instead, you're probably seeing backscatter from a denial-of-service attack, where the attacker is sending out floods of packets with forged "from" addresses in an attempt to knock CloudMark's mail servers offline (perhaps to make spamming more effective).

@peterretief you can block it at your router; then you won't see it. But it might be wise to report this to your ISP.

Actually it says „RST“ not „SYN“ so it is a denied outgoing SMTP attempt packet which was filtered out.

The other answer seems more likely to be correct to me.

It is the annoying ufw logging. You can turn it off. It is also possible to configure ufw to use a different log channel, thus it won't contaminate dmesg, but it is very tricky (might require even a little ufw patch).

FWIW if you're unfamiliar with UFW, you should probably not have your system connected directly to the internet.
