Hi Julian, thanks for the response.

To clarify what we observed on hardware that enforces strict memory protection
attributes (PcdDxeNxMemoryProtectionPolicy=0x7FD5):

- grub 2.12 boots successfully under the strict memory protection attributes.
- grub 2.06 fails to boot (page fault) under the same firmware configuration.

Given this, are there plans to update the grub version in:

1. 22.04 LTS (currently grub 2.06), so it can boot under the strict memory
   protection attributes; and
2. the 24.04 install ISO (which still bundles grub 2.06), so the installer media
   itself can boot under the same configuration.

We have hardware that enforces strict memory protection attributes available, so
if any logs or reproduction details would help, we're happy to provide them.

Thanks.
