passed a file which contains RBAC roles, rolebindings, clusterroles, or
  clusterrolebindings, this command computes covers and adds the missing rules.
  The logic required to properly apply RBAC permissions is more complicated
  than a JSON merge because you have to compute logical covers operations between
  rule sets. This means that we cannot use `kubectl apply` to update RBAC roles

- `Kubelet` no longer creates certain legacy iptables rules by default.
  It is possible that this will cause problems with some third-party components
  that improperly depended on those rules. If this affects you, you can run

- The kube-proxy `sync_proxy_rules_iptables_total` metric has now reverted back
  to its pre-1.27 behavior of tracking the total number of iptables rules that
  kube-proxy is responsible for, rather than only counting the number of rules
  that it re-synced on the last sync. The new `sync_proxy_rules_iptables_last`

- Fixed accidental enablement of the new alpha `optionalOldSelf` API field in `CustomResourceDefinition` validation rules, which should only have been allowed to be set when the `CRDValidationRatcheting` feature gate is enabled.

- Kubeadm: removed the toleration for the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint from the CoreDNS deployment of `kubeadm`. With the 1.25 release of kubeadm the taint `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` is no longer applied to control plane nodes and the toleration for it can be removed with the release of 1.26. You can also perform the same toleration removal from...

- Fixes a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in 1.27 and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122756), [@hakman](https://github.com/hakman)) [SIG Network]
