It is multiple hot pixels. The intensity of each one will vary depending on how hot it is.
If you use a pixel mask to remove the hot pixels as well as a dark frame it stops this happening.
Not all reducing software allow pixel masks but lots do.
Examples that I know of that do are Iris, Mira and AIP4WIN.
