- Fixed an issue that allowed Custom Resources to be created using Server-Side Apply even when their `CustomResourceDefinition` was terminating. ([#132467](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132467), [@sdowell](https://github.com/sdowell))

- kubelet: Fix - the volume manager didn't check the device mount state in the actual state of the world before marking the volume as detached. It may cause a pod to be stuck in the Terminating state due to the above issue when it was deleted. ([#128219](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128219), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
