* Check if container memory stats are available before accessing it ([#77656](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77656), [@yastij](https://github.com/yastij))
* client-go and kubectl no longer write cached discovery files with world-accessible file permissions ([#77874](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77874), [@yuchengwu](https://github.com/yuchengwu))

- Kubeadm now warns (instead of error out) on missing "ca.key" files for root CA, front-proxy CA and etcd CA, during "kubeadm join --control-plane" if the user has provided all certificates, keys and kubeconfig files which require signing with the given CA keys. ([#94988](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94988), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- Fix remove the etcd member from the cluster during a kubeadm reset. ([#79326](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79326), [@bradbeam](https://github.com/bradbeam))

## Known Issues

### LocalStorageCapacityIsolationFSQuotaMonitoring ConfigMap rendering failure

* Fix error in `kubeadm join --discovery-file` when using discovery files with embedded credentials ([#80675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80675), [@fabriziopandini](https://github.com/fabriziopandini))

* Restored the ability of kubectl running inside a pod to consume resource files specifying a different namespace than the one the pod is running in. ([#44862](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44862), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Pre-existing log files are now opened with O_APPEND, instead of O_TRUNC. This helps prevent losing logs when components crash-loop, and also enables external log rotation utilities to truncate log files in-place without components extending log files to their pre-truncation sizes on subsequent writes.
