* connect: update supported envoy versions to 1.24.12, 1.25.11, 1.26.6 to address [CVE-2023-44487](https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/security/advisories/GHSA-jhv4-f7mr-xx76) [[GH-19273](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/19273)]
BUG FIXES:
* Mesh Gateways: Fix a bug where replicated and peered mesh gateways with hostname-based WAN addresses fail to initialize. [[GH-19268](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/19268)]
* api-gateway: fix matching for different hostnames on the same listener [[GH-19120](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/19120)]
* api: add custom marshal/unmarshal for ServiceResolverConfigEntry.RequestTimeout so config entries that set this field can be read using the API. [[GH-19031](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/19031)]
* ca: Fix bug with Vault CA provider where renewing a retracted token would cause retries in a tight loop, degrading performance. [[GH-19285](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/19285)]
* ca: Fix bug with Vault CA provider where token renewal goroutines could leak if CA failed to initialize. [[GH-19285](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/19285)]
* catalog api: fixes a bug with catalog api where filter query parameter was not working correctly for the `/v1/catalog/services` endpoint [[GH-18322](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/18322)]
* connect: Fix bug where uncleanly closed xDS connections would influence connection balancing for too long and prevent envoy instances from starting. Two new configuration fields
`performance.grpc_keepalive_timeout` and `performance.grpc_keepalive_interval` now exist to allow for configuration on how often these dead connections will be cleaned up. [[GH-19339](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/19339)]
* dns: **(Enterprise only)** Fix bug where sameness group queries did not correctly inherit the agent's partition.
* gateways: Fix a bug where a service in a peered datacenter could not access an external node service through a terminating gateway [[GH-18959](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/18959)]
* server: **(Enterprise Only)** Fixed an issue where snake case keys were rejected when configuring the control-plane-request-limit config entry
