- Fixed a potential data race in DRA with no known real-world implications. ([#123222](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123222), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Fixed a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in `1.27` and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a

      * if the new state is "partialDisruption" or "fullDisruption" we call a user defined function that returns a new QPS to use (default 1/10 of the default rate, and the default rate respectively),
      * if the new state is "normal" we resume normal operation (go back to default limiter settings),
      * if all zones in the cluster are in "fullDisruption" state we stop all evictions.

- Fix: azuredisk parameter lowercase translation issue ([#107429](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107429), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Fixes a rare race condition handling requests that timeout ([#107459](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107459), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fixed a race condition on API server startup ensuring previously created webhook configurations are effective before the first write request is admitted. ([#95783](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95783), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fixed a race condition in kube-controller-manager and the scheduler, caused by
  a bug in the transforming informer during the Resync operation, 
  by making the transforming function idempotent. ([#124352](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124352), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]

- Fix: check disk status before delete azure disk ([#88360](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88360), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Fixed a data race in kubelet image manager that can cause static pod workers to silently stop working. ([#88915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88915), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG Node]

- Apiserver `/healthz/etcd` endpoint rate limits the number of forwarded health check requests to the etcd backends, answering with the last known state if the rate limit is exceeded. The rate limit is based on 1/2 of the timeout configured, with no burst allowed. ([#112046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112046), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))...

- Fix race condition in kube-proxy initialization that could blackhole UDP traffic to service VIP. ([#126689](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126689), [@wedaly](https://github.com/wedaly)) [SIG Network]
