patch available.

  - ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. The
    BilateralBlurImage method will allocate a set of double buffers inside AcquireBilateralTLS. But, in
    versions prior to 7.1.2-13, the last element in the set is not properly initialized. This will result in a
    release of an invalid pointer inside DestroyBilateralTLS when the memory allocation fails. Version
    7.1.2-13 contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2026-22770)
