- Fix problem in updating VolumeAttached in node status ([#112302](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112302), [@xing-yang](https://github.com/xing-yang)) [SIG Apps]

- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.
  This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a DaemonSet getting stuck around tolerations. ([#120786](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120786), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

* Requests with invalid credentials no longer match audit policy rules where users or groups are set, correcting a problem where authorized requests were getting through. ([#59398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59398), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))

        - Kernel crash with Aufs storage driver on Debian Jessie
          ([#27885](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27885)).
          The issue can be identified by using the node problem detector.

        - File descriptor leak on init/control.
          ([#275](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/275))

        - Additional memory overhead per container.

- Kubelet now cleans up the Node's cloud node IP annotation correctly if you

  were unnecessarily using `--node-ip` with an external cloud provider in 1.23,
  and then running into problems with 1.24, could not fix the problem by just
  removing the unnecessary `--node-ip` from the kubelet arguments, because
