## Non-user-facing Changes

- Update the Debian images to pick up CVE fixes in the base images:
  - Update the `debian-base` image to v1.7.0
  - Update the `debian-iptables` image to v1.6.1 ([#102302](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102302), [@xmudrii](https://github.com/xmudrii))
- Update the setcap image to buster-v2.0.1. ([#102377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102377), [@xmudrii](https://github.com/xmudrii))

- hyperkube: Use debian-hyperkube-base@v1.1.0 image
  
    A previous release built hyperkube using the debian-hyperkube-base@v1.0.0,
    which was updated to address a CVE in the CNI plugins.
    
    A side-effect of using this new image was that the networking packages
    (namely `iptables`) drifted from the versions used in the kube-proxy images.
  

* Update kube-proxy image to be based off of Debian 8.6 base image. ([#39695](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39695), [@ixdy](https://github.com/ixdy))
* Update amd64 kube-proxy base image to debian-iptables-amd64:v5 ([#39725](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39725), [@ixdy](https://github.com/ixdy))
