This update fixes the following bugs among others:
* Previously, the node-exporter daemonset's mountstats collector caused
high memory usage on nodes with NFS mount points. By disabling the
mountstats collector, this fix reduces memory usage. (BZ#1955469)
* A previous change to gophercloud/utils introduced a custom HTTP client
that uses a self-signed certificate. But because this change removed
settings from DefaultTransport, including those for proxy environment
variables, this caused failures for installations that use both self-signed
certificates and proxies. In this update, the custom HTTP client inherits
settings from DefaultTransport, so now OCP can be installed with
self-signed certificates and proxies. (BZ#1943500)
* Previously, bare metal deployments failed when large packet transfers
between Ironic and the RAM disk resulted in connection failures. In this
update, Ironic queries the RAM disk for information to work around the
connection error, allowing deployments to succeed.(BZ#1958965)
* Previously, when an IPv6 cluster was started on nodes that had IPv4
addresses, kublet sometimes used the nodes' IPv4 IP addresses instead of
their IPv6 IP addresses, which prevented host-network pods from reaching
IPv6-only pods. This update changes the way node IP addresses are chosen.
Now, all nodes have IPv6 addresses. (BZ#1942488)
* Previously, OVN changed the source IP addresses of hairpin traffic
packets to the IP address of the load balancer, which sometimes blocked
traffic when a network policy was in use. With this update, Kuryr opens
traffic to the IP addresses of all services in a network policy's
namespace, and hairpin traffic flows freely. (BZ#1959766)
Security Fix(es):
* golang-github-gorilla-websocket: integer overflow leads to denial of
service (CVE-2020-27813)

score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
