           Summary: [PATCH] Don't use non signal-safe functions in signal
                    handler
           Product: OSSEC
           Version: 1.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: ossec core
        AssignedTo: ossec-dev@xxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: php-coder@xxxxxxxxxxxx


Hello!

I found list of functions which may be used in signal handler
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_04.html)
and test OSSEC.

I found then OSSEC violate this rule at mane places:
- merror(), DeletePID() and OSList_DeleteCurrentlyNode() uses amny non
signal-safe functions
- uses printf() (which should be replaced by write())
- uses exit() (which should be replaced by _exit() or _Exit())

For the latest two cases I create patch.
