 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* (baseapp) [#18383](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18383) Fixed a data race inside BaseApp.getContext, found by end-to-end (e2e) tests.
 * (client/server) [#18345](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18345) Consistently set viper prefix in client and server. It defaults for the binary name for both client and server.
 * (server) [#18254](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18254) Don't hardcode gRPC address to localhost.
 * (x/slashing) [#18016](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18016) Fixed builder function for missed blocks key (`validatorMissedBlockBitArrayPrefixKey`) in slashing/migration/v4
