* Advanced audit policy now supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources. ([#48836](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48836), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

- A new /resize subresource was added to request pod resource resizing. Update your k8s client code to utilize the /resize subresource for Pod resizing operations. ([#128266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128266), [@AnishShah](https://github.com/AnishShah)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]

- Fixes a bug where Services using finalizers may hold onto ClusterIP and/or NodePort allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource ([#120655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120655), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network and Testing]

- The validation of `replicas` field in the ReplicationController `/scale` subresource has been migrated to declarative validation.
  If the `DeclarativeValidation` feature gate is enabled, mismatches with existing validation are reported via metrics.

- The pod/eviction subresource now accepts policy/v1 Eviction requests in addition to policy/v1beta1 Eviction requests ([#100724](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100724), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Storage and Testing]

- An alpha flag `--subresource` is added to get, patch, edit replace kubectl commands to fetch and update status and scale subresources. ([#99556](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99556), [@nikhita](https://github.com/nikhita))

- Fixes a bug where Services using finalizers may hold onto ClusterIP and/or NodePort allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource ([#120657](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120657), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network and Testing]

- Fixed a bug where `Services` using finalizers may hold onto `ClusterIP` and/or `NodePort` allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource. ([#120623](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120623), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

The merged fix enforces validation against the proxying address for a Node. In some cases, the fix can break clients that depend on the `nodes/proxy` subresource, specifically if a kubelet advertises a localhost or link-local address to the Kubernetes control plane. Configuring an egress proxy for egress to the cluster network can also mitigate this vulnerability.

**Affected Versions**:

- Promoted kubectl `--subresource` flag to stable. ([#130238](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130238), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
