Dear Maintainer,

I got this error after updating grub and it appears after a kernel update.

It can be reproduced by these steps.

Update grub2 and grub-efi-amd64-signed to 2.14-1

Install any new kernel or

Run the following commands

update-grub
grub-install

Reboot and, for a few seconds, it's throw this error:

grub-core/kern/efi/sb.c/shim_lock verifier_init:177:prohibited by secure
boot policy

And it boots normally after this error.

Reverting back to 2.14~git20250718.0e36779+2 fixes this.
