[BUG] salt-minion 3005.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 hangs when /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf contains QAT Engine configuration

Description
Salt commands (salt-minion, salt-call or /opt/saltstack/salt/run/run) hang with no log output at all, not a single line with -l debug or -l all. Removing salt-minion package and trying to reinstall also fails (since it attempts to start salt-minion service during installation).

Looks like when we delete /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf, or just remove the qatengine configuration from openssl.cnf, it works again (See below for the setup).

We don't have this issue with salt 3004.1, if I just remove salt-minion 3005.1 on the same machine and install 3004.1, it just works normally.

We can reproduce the problem on bare metal servers or Amazon EC2 instances.

Setup

• Both bare metal servers on-prem and AWS EC2 instances have the problem
• onedir packaging

We use Intel's Quick Assist Technology accelerators in software mode (qat_sw), which consists of:

• intel-crypto-mb (2021.6)
• intel-ipsec-mb (1.3)
• QAT Engine (0.6.17)
• OpenSSL 3.0.2
• Ubuntu 22.04

with the following content in openssl.cnf:

openssl_conf = openssl_def

[openssl_def]
engines = engine_section

[engine_section]
qatengine = qatengine_section

[qatengine_section]
engine_id = qatengine
default_algorithms = ALL

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Install qat_sw components, put the content above into openssl.cnf, restart salt-minion.

Expected behavior
salt-minion being responsive.
