Bottom line is that Linux distros never really bothered to apply a real fix for a security vulnerability and decided to muck on with a quick patch and a lot of hope. This wouldn’t have been an issue if distros fixed their boot configuration two years ago when the problem became publicly known.
It’s a vulnerability that affects secure boot through grub. MS is the interested party in patching it because they’re the ones selling secure boot certifications. It doesn’t surprise me a bit if the open source community is not interested in patching secure boot holes.
The bottom line is that a windows update broke grub. Again.
