Without more information, I would have to say it is likely a false
positive. A binary is probably not returning the value OSSEC is
expecting in regards to the system calls getsid() and kill() and the
output of ps. This is common with less popular operating systems since
the majority of individuals who use OSSEC run it on GNU/Linux. I know
this has happened with OSSEC + IBM AIX on occasion.
