Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: python-beaker-1.3.1-7.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Beaker, a middleware dedicated to web application's cache and session data management, used to yield unique session identification as hex-encoded MD5 digest of variable inputs. Nowadays, this algorithm is discouraged, and in turn implicitly refused by Python's runtime in case of FIPS mode. Consequence: Some web applications using Beaker for sessions handling may not work correctly under FIPS mode. Fix: In parallel with upstream development, session identification is yielded as base64-encoded SHA1 digest of variable inputs. Result: Beaker no longer actively uses MD5 in the default setup, so even the session handling in respective web applications does not suffer in FIPS mode.

Proposed patch

Upstream is a bit further as of now, however still contains very similar
bits; analogous patch proposed [1].  Based on the feedback, also the
current patch may change, otherwise I consider it final.

Polished patch

This reflects the changes proposed to upstream more tightly
(all md5 uses converted + fix a "seld" typo).

New pull request (rebased on the current head, also turned to be CI passing
whereas the new changes passed as well) accepted: [2]
