I think we are not agreeing in what memory leak means. 

If there is an error and the process exits, the memory is released and the file
descriptors are closed by the kernel. It happens on a normal exit (when we call
ErrorExit) or when a signal is sent to ossec. There is no leak in here, because
the process is not running anymore. I know it is good practice to exit cleanly,
but in case of errors, we don't need to do so.

A memory leak (IMO) is when the process keep running and the used memory is not
being released, causing it to grow is size... Using this definition, there is
no leak at all..
