The rpmlint reported wolfssl.x86_64: W: crypto-policy-non-compliance-openssl /usr/lib64/libwolfssl.so.42.1.0 SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list with wolfssl package, as the issue was also raised by @decathorpe .

This is indicative of the problem, but the actual underlying problem is that wolfssl has no code for dealing with system-wide crypto policies at all.

Yes, it is. I created the issue on the upstream, https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/issues/7941

Just for clarification, wolfssl calls wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list, rather than SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list, as can be seen from the source code:

~/git/wolfssl/wolfssl$ grep -r SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list ./
./openssl/ssl.h:#define SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list         wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list
./openssl/ssl.h:#define SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites        wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list
./ssl.h:WOLFSSL_API int  wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx, const char* list);
./ssl.h:WOLFSSL_API int  wolfSSL_CTX_set_cipher_list_bytes(WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx, const byte* list, const int listSz);

Agreed, there is still the underlying issue of setting system-wide policies.
