- Introduced new apiserver metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_seats`. This metric is analogous to `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_requests`, but tracks the total number of seats, as each request can take more than one seat. ([#119385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119385), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

- Fixed node lifecycle controller panic when conditionType ready is been patch `nil` by mistake. ([#122874](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122874), [@fusida](https://github.com/fusida))

* Webhooks now do not skip cluster-scoped resources. Before upgrading your Kubernetes clusters, double check whether you have configured webhooks for cluster-scoped objects (e.g., nodes, persistentVolume), as these webhooks will start to take effect. Delete/modify the configs if that's not desirable. ([#58185](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58185), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

- Fix the regression with the slow pods termination. Before this fix pods may take an additional time to terminate - up to one minute. Reversing the change that ensured that CNI resources cleaned up when the pod is removed on API server. ([#97980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97980), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://g...

  
  Also, compute the backoff delay more accurately for deleted pods. ([#119466](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119466), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

- The CSI driver-registrar external sidecar container v1.0.0-rc2 is known to take up to 1 minute to start in some cases. We expect this issue to be resolved in a future release of the sidecar container. For verification, please see the release notes of future releases of the external sidecar container.

There is no mitigation from this issue.  Cluster admins should take care to secure aggregated API servers and should not grant access to mutate `APIService`s to untrusted parties.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kube-apiserver v1.25.0
  - kube-apiserver v1.24.0 - v1.24.4
