What is CVE-2019-5012?

A vulnerability in the Wacom driver allows a user with local access to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. This issue arises due to the update helper service's handling of user-supplied script arguments in the startProcess command. An attacker can leverage this flaw to escalate their privileges, potentially compromising system integrity and security if they gain local access.
