md5 is not an approved algorithm in FIPS mode, and trying to instantiate a hashlib.md5() will fail when the system is running in FIPS mode. md5 is allowed when in a non-security context. There is a plan to add a keyword parameter (usedforsecurity) to hashlib.md5() to annotate whether or not the instance is being used in a security context. In the case where it is not, the instantiation of md5 will be allowed. See https://bugs.python.org/issue9216 for more details. Some downstream python versions already support this parameter. To support these versions, a new encapsulation of md5() has been added to oslo_utils. See https://review.opendev.org/#/c/750031/ In this case, md5 is used to generate fingerprints when ssh keys are being generated and imported. Without this patch, these operations fail on FIPS enabled systems. Change-Id: I1fe8e8bb181fa2a704eec38be09619e5a648f2f1

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
