Problem
On FIPS-enabled systems, importing
cv2aborts the Python process with:-I reproduced this for both
opencv-pythonandopencv-python-headless.How I reproduced it
I reproduced this on Rocky Linux with FIPS mode enabled
(
/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled = 1) using the published Linux wheels:The process aborts immediately during module import.
Inspecting the wheel shows that
cv2.abi3.sois linked against a bundledOpenSSL (
opencv_python.libs/libssl*.so), which is loaded at import time andfails OpenSSL self-tests in FIPS mode.
Root cause
The manylinux build currently builds and bundles its own OpenSSL and links
FFmpeg against it. On FIPS-enabled systems, this non-FIPS OpenSSL triggers
a self-test failure during
dlopen, aborting the process before any OpenCVcode runs.
Solution
This change removes the vendored OpenSSL from the manylinux build and relies
on the system OpenSSL instead. FFmpeg is still built with OpenSSL support, but
discovery is done via system pkg-config paths.
System OpenSSL is FIPS-compliant on FIPS-enabled systems, which prevents the
abort while preserving existing functionality.
