- The apimachinery util/net function used to detect the bind address `ResolveBindAddress()` takes into consideration global IP addresses on loopback interfaces when 1) the host has default routes, or 2) there are no global IPs on those interfaces in order to support more complex network scenarios like BGP Unnumbered RFC 5549 ([#95790](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95790), [@a...

* Event object references with apiversion will now that value. ([#63913](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63913), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* Fixes the `kubernetes.default.svc` loopback service resolution to use a loopback configuration. ([#62649](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62649), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### SIG Apps

- Kube-controller-manager: volume plugins can be restricted from contacting local and loopback addresses by setting `--volume-host-allow-local-loopback=false`, or from contacting specific CIDR ranges by setting `--volume-host-cidr-denylist` (for example, `--volume-host-cidr-denylist=127.0.0.1/28,feed::/16`) ([#91785](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91785),...

- Kubeadm: add support for `127.0.0.1` as advertise address. kubeadm will automatically replace this value with matching global unicast IP address on the loopback interface. ([#83475](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83475), [@fabriziopandini](https://github.com/fabriziopandini))

- Changed the API server so that for admission webhooks that have a URL matching the hostname 'localhost' or a loopback IP address, the connection supports HTTP/2 where it could be negotiated.
