- Kubeadm: upgrade supports fallback to the nearest known etcd version if an unknown k8s version is passed ([#88373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88373), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  - `spec.version` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions` instead
  - `spec.validation` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions[*].schema` instead
  - `spec.subresources` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions[*].subresources` instead
  - `spec.additionalPrinterColumns` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions[*].additionalPrinterColumns` instead

For stable features, the `kubectl` tool follows the Kubernetes [version skew policy](https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/);
however, kubectl v1.21 and older do not support the new API for ephemeral containers.

- The go version defined in `.go-version` is now fetched when invoking test, build, and code generation targets if the current go version does not match it. Set $FORCE_HOST_GO=y while testing or building to skip this behavior, or set $GO_VERSION to override the selected go version.

- `kubectl api-resources` now prints the API version (as 'API group/version', same as output of `kubectl api-versions`). The column APIGROUP is now APIVERSION ([#95253](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95253), [@sallyom](https://github.com/sallyom)) [SIG CLI]

All Kubernetes clusters with following versions, running Windows workloads with `runAsNonRoot` are impacted

**Affected Versions**:

- kubelet v1.20 - v1.21
- kubelet v1.22.0 - v1.22.13
- kubelet v1.23.0 - v1.23.10
- kubelet v1.24.0 - v1.24.4

**How do I mitigate this vulnerability?**

There are no known mitigations to this vulnerability.

**Fixed Versions**:

- kubelet v1.22.14

## External Dependency Version Information

Continuous integration builds have used the following versions of external dependencies, however, this is not a strong recommendation and users should consult an appropriate installation or upgrade guide before deciding what versions of etcd, docker or rkt to use.

* Docker versions 1.10.3, 1.11.2, 1.12.6 have been validated
  * Docker version 1.12.6 known issues

- `kubeadm`: will now allow deploying a kubelet that is 3 versions older than the version of `kubeadm` (N-3). This aligns with the recent change made by SIG Architecture that extends the support skew between the control plane and kubelets. Tolerate this new kubelet skew for the commands `init`, `join` and `upgrade`. Note that if the `kubeadm` user applies a control plane version that is older than the `kubeadm` version (N-1 maximum) then the skew between the kubelet and control plane would...
