patch available.

  - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-31 and before 6.9.13-56 contains a policy bypass in the PCD (and, per the
    upstream advisory, CUBE and HALD) coder: when a specific command line option is supplied, the decoder does
    not check a configured resource limit, which can result in extra memory allocation. A local user able to
    pass command line options to ImageMagick can therefore exceed the intended memory policy limit, causing a
    limited availability impact. The issue is fixed in 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56. (CVE-2026-93587)
