If I read correctly, this is only for Mac clients, correct?


Thanks,

The Apple fix presumably self-installs, but I manually updated Zoom to run the patch. They fixed the most critical vulnerability and another update is expected this weekend.

Does the fix self-install like some Microsoft updates, or do we need to go to Zoom for the update?

Amazingly Apple also released a fix — silently — which disables the Zoom web server even on Macs that haven't installed the Zoom patch.

The update alert showed up when I went in today and the switch was easy and it works great.
