* Fix a potential bug that scheduler preempts unnecessary pods. ([#70898](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70898), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
* The kube-apiserver's healthz now takes in an optional query parameter which allows you to disable health checks from causing healthz failures.  ([#70676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70676), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

This release contains changes that address the following vulnerabilities:
