- kubeadm: JoinConfiguration now houses the discovery options in a nested Discovery structure, which in turn has a couple of other nested structures to house more specific options (BootstrapTokenDiscovery and FileDiscovery) ([#67763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67763), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61446)) and with containerized kubelets ([#61456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61456)). The workaround for this issue is to specify the complete path in the hostPath volume. Use of subPathmounts nested within atomic writer volumes (configmap, secret, downwardAPI, projected) does not work ([#61545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61545)), and socket files cannot be loaded from a subPath ([#62377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kub...

### CVE-2022-3294: Node address isn't always verified when proxying

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may have access to secure endpoints in the control plane network. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if an untrusted user can to modify Node objects and send requests proxying through them.

image repository for CoreDNS kubeadm now will append the `coredns` image name instead of `coredns/coredns`, thus restoring the behaviour existing before the v1.21 release. Users who rely on nested folder for the coredns image should set the `clusterConfiguration.dns.imageRepository` value including the nested path name (e.g using `registry.company.xyz/coredns` will force kubeadm to use `registry.company.xyz/coredns/coredns` image). No action is needed if using the default registry (k8s.gcr.io). ...

- Fixed a performance issue applying json patches to deeply nested objects ([#93812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93812), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]

In contrast to other identifiers, labels are not block scoped and do
not conflict with identifiers that are not labels. The scope of a label
is the body of the function in which it is declared and excludes
the body of any nested function.
