Node.js v17.x, v18.x, and v19.x use OpenSSL v3.
Node.js v18.x and v19.x will be updated to address this issue.
Support for Node.js v17.x ended in June 2022. It will not be updated. Please migrate to a supported version of Node.js.
Node.js 14.x and v16.x are not affected by this OpenSSL update.

node@14 and node@16 don't support openssl@3.

Thanks for the notice. Let's see if it'll build anyway... If not we can cross it off the list.

Looks like it built and linked succesfully.

This actually broke some libraries. For example, if you're using a version of Webpack that defaults to using the md4 hash function, you end up getting a cryptic error. This is easily reproduced in the Node REPL:

> require('crypto').createHash('md4')
Uncaught Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported
    at new Hash (node:internal/crypto/hash:71:19)
    at Object.createHash (node:crypto:130:10) {
  opensslErrorStack: [ 'error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error' ],
  library: 'digital envelope routines',
  reason: 'unsupported',
  code: 'ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED'
}

Since it was pointed out that Node v16 was supposed to remain on OpenSSL v1.1.1 and not introduce breaking changes, this should probably be reverted.

After consideration, we have decided that the least risky option is to avoid the potential breaking change of an in-release OpenSSL switch and bring forward the End-of-Life date of Node.js 16 to be on the same day as the end of support of OpenSSL 1.1.1, September 11th, 2023.
