* The kubelet uses a new release 3.1 of the pause container with the Docker runtime. This version will clean up orphaned zombie processes that it inherits. ([#57517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57517), [@verb](https://github.com/verb))

- Kube-proxy's IPVS proxy mode no longer sets the net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet sysctl parameter. Nodes upgrading will have net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet set to 1 but new nodes will inherit the system default (usually 0). If you relied on any behavior requiring net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet, you must set ensure it is enabled as kube-proxy will no longer set it automatically. This change helps to further mitigate CVE-2020-8558. ([...

- Fixes regression in CPUManager that had the (rare) possibility to release exclusive CPUs in app containers inherited from init containers. ([#90419](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90419), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska)) [SIG Node]
