* [beta] SelfSubjectRulesReview, an API that lets a user see what actions they can perform with a namespace, has been added to the authorization.k8s.io API group. This bulk query is intended to enable UIs to show/hide actions based on the end user, and for users to quickly reason about their own permissions.

- Introduces new alpha functionality to the reflector, allowing user to enable API streaming.
  
  To activate this feature, users can set the `ENABLE_CLIENT_GO_WATCH_LIST_ALPHA` environmental variable.

  User namespaces support is a Beta feature now. ([#123593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123593), [@giuseppe](https://github.com/giuseppe)) [SIG Node]

### 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.

 - `kubeadm`: a separate "super-admin.conf" file is now deployed. The User in `admin.conf` is now bound to a new RBAC Group `kubeadm:cluster-admins` that has `cluster-admin` `ClusterRole` access. The User in `super-admin.conf` is now bound to the `system:masters` built-in super-powers / break-glass Group that can bypass RBAC. Before this change, the default `admin.conf` was bound to `system:masters`...

- Graduate JobTrackingWithFinalizers to stable.
  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Users can choose to migrate jobs to tracking with finalizers by adding the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
