gh-95231: Disable md5 & crypt modules if FIPS is enabled (GH-94742)
If kernel fips is enabled, we get permission error upon doing `import crypt`. So, if kernel fips is enabled, disable the unallowed hashing methods. Python 3.9.1 (default, May 10 2022, 11:36:26) [GCC 10.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import crypt Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.9/crypt.py", line 117, in <module> _add_method('MD5', '1', 8, 34) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/crypt.py", line 94, in _add_method result = crypt('', salt) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/crypt.py", line 82, in crypt return _crypt.crypt(word, salt) PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted Signed-off-by: Shreenidhi Shedi <sshedi@vmware.com>
