- Since golang 1.17 both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR rejects leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation of IPv4 addresses,
  Kubernetes will keep allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility.
  IMPORTANT: Kubernetes interprets leading zeros on IPv4 addresses as decimal, users must not rely on parser alignment to not being impacted by the associated security advisory:

- [IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dual-stack) enables the allocation of both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to Pods and Services.

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- `kubelet` allows pods to use the `net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout`, “net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl”
  and “net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes“ sysctl by default; Pod Security Admission
  allows this sysctl in `v1.29+` versions of the baseline and restricted policies. ([#121240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121240), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))
- `kubelet` now allows pods to use the `net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time` sysctl by default

- Kube-proxy: Added dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support to the iptables proxier. ([#82462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82462), [@vllry](https://github.com/vllry)) [SIG Network]

### IPv4/IPv6 run

* The pod annotation `security.alpha.kubernetes.io/sysctls` now allows customization of namespaced and well isolated kernel parameters (sysctls), starting with `kernel.shm_rmid_forced`, `net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range` and `net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies` for Kubernetes 1.4. ([#27180](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27180), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

 *  Fix: Don't leak connections if web sockets have malformed responses or if `onOpen()` throws.
 *  Fix: Don't retry when request bodies fail due to `FileNotFoundException`.
 *  Fix: Don't crash when URLs have IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
 *  Fix: Don't crash when building `HandshakeCertificates` on Android API 28.
 *  Fix: Permit multipart file names to contain non-ASCII characters.
 *  New: API to get MockWebServer's dispatcher.

- Kube-proxy doesn't set the sysctl `net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet=1` if no IPv4 loopback address is selected by the `nodePortAddresses` configuration parameter. ([#107684](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107684), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
