Babel-Loader Fails on FIPS: Digest method not supported #910

Description

I'm submitting a bug report

Webpack Version:
5.40.0

Babel Core Version:
7.14.6

Babel Loader Version:
8.2.2

Please tell us about your environment:
RHEL

Current behavior:

Error: Digest method not supported
    at new Hash (internal/crypto/hash.js:46:19)
    at Object.createHash (crypto.js:115:10)
    at filename (/omitted_project_path/node_modules/babel-loader/lib/cache.js:94:23)
    at /omitted_project_path/node_modules/babel-loader/lib/cache.js:120:39
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
    at asyncGeneratorStep (/omitted_project_path/node_modules/babel-loader/lib/cache.js:3:103)
    at _next (/omitted_project_path/node_modules/babel-loader/lib/cache.js:5:194)
    at /omitted_project_path/node_modules/babel-loader/lib/cache.js:5:364
    at new Promise (<anonymous>)
    at /omitted_project_path/node_modules/babel-loader/lib/cache.js:5:97

Expected/desired behavior:

  • If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem along with a gist/jsbin of your webpack configuration.
    I cannot easily link a StackBlitz or GitHub repo as fips has to be enabled on the Node distribution. The error occurs when doing a build of a Node application on a FIPS-enabled system.
    Webpack Config (used to splice out the md4 hashes in Webpack)
const webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
  output: {
    hashFunction: 'sha256'
  },
  optimization: {
    concatenateModules: false
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.ids.HashedModuleIdsPlugin({
      hashFunction: 'sha256'
    })
  ]
};
  • What is the expected behavior?
    The hash changes from Use md4 instead of sha1 for filename hashes #638 and Use MD4 instead of SHA1 for filename hashes #639 use md4 which is not a supported hashing algorithm for FIPS-compliant systems. Although md4 is a faster hashing algorithm, a configuration option should be provided for those building in a FIPS-compliant environment to specify an alternative hash, such as sha-256.

  • What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
    Allowing builds to use a compliant hashing algorithm.
