Webpack build fails with node 16 and openssl 3 provided by os

[pathmapper]

I'm submitting a bug report

ref #917, #918

Webpack Version:
5.65.0

Babel Core Version:
7.0.0-bridge.0

Babel Loader Version:
8.2.3

Please tell us about your environment:
Fedora Rawhide (comes with OpenSSL 3) with node 16 (LTS)

Current behavior:
https://github.com/pathmapper/test-landingpage/runs/4675042075?check_suite_focus=true

Build fails with:

ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 error7:33:27 PM
  
  error  in ./src/main.js
  
  Syntax Error: Thread Loader (Worker 0)
  error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported
      at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
      at new Promise (<anonymous>)

because md4 hashing is used which is deprecated by OpenSSL3.

babel-loader/src/cache.js

Lines 66 to 70 in 052c07a

	// md4 hashing is not supported starting with node v17.0.0
	const majorNodeVersion = parseInt(process.versions.node.split(".")[0], 10);
	let hashType = "md4";
	if (majorNodeVersion >= 17) {
	hashType = "md5";

Expected/desired behavior:
Build runs without errors.

• 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.

• use Fedora rawhide with node 16 (LTS)
• checkout https://github.com/pathmapper/test-landingpage
• run yarn install
• run yarn build

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
  Use babel-loader with node 16 LTS on operating system with OpenSSL 3.

We can check process.versions.openssl other than process.versions.node in the code you linked; would you like to open a PR?
