What type of PR is this?
/kind bug

What does this PR do / why we need it:
Image Updater fails to start with TLS 1.3 cipher suites when cluster TLS profile uses TLS 1.2 minimum. This PR will filter the ciphersuites of tls 1.3 when tls minversion is less than tls version 1.3.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • TLS cipher suite arguments now respect the configured minimum TLS version. TLS 1.3 cipher suites are excluded when the minimum version is lower, and the argument is omitted if no ciphers remain.
  • Tests
    • Updated end-to-end TLS configuration coverage to enable the Image Updater and webhook setting.

Walkthrough

The TLS argument builder now filters TLS 1.3 cipher suites according to the configured minimum version and omits the cipher argument when no suites remain. The TLS E2E test setup enables Image Updater and sets ENABLE_WEBHOOK=true.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a37f3

A narrow custom TLS profile can cause the Image Updater webhook to negotiate default TLS 1.2 ciphers outside the configured profile. Confirm or address this bounded policy risk before relying on that cipher restriction.

Add a mixed-cipher test case.

The tests cover only TLS 1.3 ciphers alone. They do not cover a mix of TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 ciphers with a TLS 1.2 minimum. That is the main realistic case. Add a case that checks the TLS 1.3 ciphers are removed and the TLS 1.2 ciphers remain in the --tlsciphers value. Note that MapCipherSuites translates OpenSSL names to IANA names. Use input names that map correctly.

Reduce duplication with BuildTLSArgsFromClusterTLSProfile.

The new builder repeats the disabled check, the --tlsminversion logic and the --tlsciphers logic of BuildTLSArgsFromClusterTLSProfile (lines 1333-1345). The two copies can diverge. Extract a shared helper, or call the generic builder. Then post-filter the cipher flag value, or pass a filterTLS13 option.

Line 1533 compares MinVersion with the string literal "VersionTLS13". Use configv1.VersionTLS13 instead. This avoids a silent mismatch if the constant changes. Define the TLS 1.3 cipher set as a package-level variable. Then each call does not allocate a new map.
