Hi Tobias, Thanks. With the newer boringssl included with Android P, the OPENSSL_malloc() and OPENSSL_free() are no longer compatible with the generic malloc() and free() used in Strongswan. Objects allocated in Strongswan (often used in chunk_t) can be freed by boringssl functions that call their version of free(). https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/+/HEAD/PORTING.md
Do we have porting guidelines for integrating strongswan with boringssl for Android P? I see there is an older version of boringssl https://git.strongswan.org/?p=android-ndk-boringssl.git;a=log. Would this work on Android P, and would it co-exist with the copy already in Android P (sharing the same libcrypto_static.a object files name space)?

We currently use BoringSSL (see [1]). If you want to use OpenSSL you'd have to port a newer version yourself.
