The Echo Port is normaly used for testing if TCP/IP on a Computer is running. It does only Echo the incoming data. Usually it is not a security flaw, except somebody tries da DoS Attack by permanent echos.

You can close this port except you have Applications running which use this functions. The common system Applications do not use this port.
