- The built-in `system:aws-cloud-provider` cluster role is deprecated and will not be auto-created in a future release. Deployments using the AWS cloud provider should grant required permissions to the `aws-cloud-provider` service account in the `kube-system` namespace as part of deployment. ([#66635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66635), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
- kubelet

* GKE/GCE: New and upgraded 1.7 GCE/GKE clusters no longer have an RBAC ClusterRoleBinding that grants the cluster-admin ClusterRole to the default service account in the kube-system Namespace. ([#46750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46750), [@cjcullen](https://github.com/cjcullen)). If this permission is still desired, run the following command to explicitly grant it, either before or after upgrading to 1.7:
    ```

- DRAAdminAccess was enabled by default allowing users to create `ResourceClaims` and `ResourceClaimTemplates` in privileged mode to grant access to devices that were in use by other users for admin tasks like monitoring health or status of the device. ([#133085](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133085), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh)) [SIG Auth and Node]

* RBAC: The system:kubelet-api-admin cluster role can be used to grant full access to the kubelet API  so integrators can grant this role to the --kubelet-client-certificate credential given to the apiserver. ([#57128](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57128), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- kube-apiserver:

There is no mitigation from this issue.  Cluster admins should take care to secure aggregated API servers and should not grant access to mutate `APIService`s to untrusted parties.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kube-apiserver v1.25.0
  - kube-apiserver v1.24.0 - v1.24.4
  - kube-apiserver v1.23.0 - v1.23.10
  - kube-apiserver v1.22.0 - v1.22.14

* New and upgraded 1.7 GCE/GKE clusters no longer have an RBAC ClusterRoleBinding that grants the `cluster-admin` ClusterRole to the `default` service account in the `kube-system` namespace. ([#46750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46750), [@cjcullen](https://github.com/cjcullen))

#### AWS

- The `system:aws-cloud-provider` cluster role, deprecated in v1.13, is no longer auto-created. Deployments using the AWS cloud provider should grant required permissions to the `aws-cloud-provider` service account in the `kube-system` namespace as part of deployment.  ([#66635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66635), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

* Fixed racy panics when using fake watches with ObjectTracker ([#61195](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61195), [@grantr](https://github.com/grantr))
* Fixed mounting of UNIX sockets(and other special files) in subpaths ([#61480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61480), [@gnufscied](https://github.com/gnufied))
