* Upgrade golang version to 1.7.6 ([#46405](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46405), [@cblecker](https://github.com/cblecker))
* kube-proxy handling of services with no endpoints now applies to both INPUT and OUTPUT chains, preventing socket leak. ([#43972](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43972), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

* Fix a bug in kubelet hostport logic which flushes KUBE-MARK-MASQ iptables chain ([#32413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32413), [@freehan](https://github.com/freehan))

* Bump ip-masq-agent to v2.1.1 ([#67916](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67916), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))
    * - Update debian-iptables image for CVEs.
    * - Change chain name to IP-MASQ to be compatible with the
    * pre-injected masquerade rules.

      endpoints, rather than waiting until all of the terminating
      endpoints have terminated even when those terminating endpoints
      were not being used.
  
    - Chains for endpoints that won't be used are no longer output to
      iptables, saving a bit of memory/time/cpu. (#106373, @aojea) [SIG Network]

- 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))

- Updated `kube-proxy` with `nftables` to reject or drop traffic to services with no endpoints from filter chains at priority 0 (`NF_IP_PRI_FILTER`). ([#132456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132456), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman))
