* Fixed issue 63608, which is that under rare circumstances the ResourceQuota admission controller could lose track of an request in progress and time out after waiting 10 seconds for a decision to be made. ([#64598](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64598), [@MikeSpreitzer](https...

    A previous release built hyperkube using the debian-hyperkube-base@v1.0.0,
    which was updated to address a CVE in the CNI plugins.
    
    A side-effect of using this new image was that the networking packages
    (namely `iptables`) drifted from the versions used in the kube-proxy images.
  
    The following issues were filed on kube-proxy failures when using hyperkube:

- The client label for apiserver_request_count and apiserver_request_total now no-opts and merely records an empty string. ([#87673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87673), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Scalability]


<!-- NEW RELEASE NOTES ENTRY -->

- Added the feature gates `StrictCostEnforcementForVAP` and `StrictCostEnforcementForWebhooks` to enforce the strict cost calculation for CEL extended libraries. It is strongly recommended to turn on the feature gates as early as possible.

- To address the possibility of dry-run requests overwhelming admission webhooks that rely on side effects and a reconciliation mechanism, a new field is being added to `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.ValidatingWebhookConfiguration` and `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.MutatingWebhookConfiguration` so that webhooks can explicitly...

- When the kubelet is watching a ConfigMap or Secret purely in the context of setting environment variables
  for containers, only hold that watch for a defined duration before cancelling it. This change reduces the CPU

- DRA: When the prioritized list feature was used in a request and the resulting number of allocated devices exceeded the number of allowed devices per claim, the scheduler aborted the attempt to allocate devices early. Previously, it tried to many different combinations, which could take a long time.
