- Ensure the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain in kube-proxy IPVS mode. The chain is ensured for both IPv4 and IPv6 in dual-stack operation. ([#82214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82214), [@uablrek](https://github.com/uablrek))

- The kubelet now creates an iptables chain named `KUBE-IPTABLES-HINT` in
  the `mangle` table. Containerized components that need to modify iptables
  rules in the host network namespace can use the existence of this chain
  to more-reliably determine whether the system is using iptables-legacy or

    * Update debian-iptables image for CVEs.
    * Change chain name to IP-MASQ to be compatible with the pre-injected masquerade rules.

- The `IPTablesOwnershipCleanup` feature (KEP-3178) is now GA; kubelet no longer
  creates the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain (which has been unused for several releases)
  or the `KUBE-MARK-MASQ` chain (which is now only created by kube-proxy). ([#119374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119374), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
