import cv2 aborts with OpenSSL internal error: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE on OpenSSL 3.0.x [opencv-python 4.13.0.90]

[Nailujj]

On a Debian/Ubuntu-based environment using OpenSSL 3.0.x, importing OpenCV (import cv2) aborts the Python process with an OpenSSL FIPS self-test failure:

crypto/fips/fips.c:154: OpenSSL internal error: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE
Aborted (core dumped)

This is a hard abort (exit code 134), not a Python exception.

Using an older OpenCV version works as expected in the same environment.

Steps to reproduce (I am on Databricks but I assume other environments will have similar issues)

1. Create a clean environment (e.g., Databricks / Debian-based container / Ubuntu).

2. Install OpenCV (newest version):

pip install opencv-python

3. Run:

python -c "import cv2; print(cv2.version)"

Actual result
crypto/fips/fips.c:154: OpenSSL internal error: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE
Aborted (core dumped)

Expected result
import cv2 should succeed and print the OpenCV version.

Environment:

OS: Debian/Ubuntu-based (e.g. Databricks runtime / Linux x86_64)

Python: 3.12
