- Fix handling tombstones in pod-disruption-budged controller. ([#83951](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83951), [@zouyee](https://github.com/zouyee))

- Added a delay to node updates after kubelet startup. A random offset, based on the configured `nodeStatusReportFrequency`, helped distribute traffic and load from node status updates more evenly over time. The initial status update could occur up to 50% earlier or later than the regular schedule. ([#130919](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130919), [@mengqiy](h...

address for Nodes, a bug in kube-apiserver made it possible to bypass this validation. Bypassing this validation could allow authenticated requests destined for Nodes to be redirected to the API Server through its private network.

The merged fix enforces validation against the proxying address for a Node. In some cases, the fix can break clients that depend on the `nodes/proxy` subresource, specifically if a kubelet advertises a localhost or link-local address to the Kubernetes control...
