If you're using Zoom on a Mac, it's time for a manual update. The video conferencing software's latest update fixes an auto-update vulnerability that could have allowed malicious programs to use its elevated installing powers, granting escalated privileges and control of the system.
The vulnerability was first discovered by Patrick Wardle, founder of the Objective-See Foundation, a nonprofit Mac OS security group. Wardle detailed in a talk at Def Con last week how Zoom's installer asks for a user password when installing or uninstalling, but its auto-update function, enabled by default, doesn't need one. Wardle found that Zoom's updater is owned by and runs as the root user.

It seemed secure, as only Zoom clients could connect to the privileged daemon, and only packages signed by Zoom could be extracted. The problem is that by simply passing the verification checker the name of the package it was looking for ("Zoom Video ... Certification Authority Apple Root CA.pkg"), this check could be bypassed. That meant malicious actors could force Zoom to downgrade to a buggier, less-secure version or even pass it an entirely different package that could give them root access to the system.
Wardle disclosed his findings to Zoom before his talk, and some aspects of the vulnerability were addressed, but key root access was still available as of Wardle's talk on Saturday. Zoom issued a security bulletin later that same day, and a patch for version Zoom 5.11.5 (9788) followed soon after. You can download the update directly from Zoom or click on your menu bar options to "Check for updates." We wouldn't suggest waiting for an automatic update, for multiple reasons. (Update: Clarified Wardle's disclosure and update timing).
Last May, a Zoom vulnerability that enabled a zero-click remote code execution used a similar downgrade and signature-check bypass. Ars' Dan Goodin noted that his Zoom client didn't actually update when the fix for that issue arrived, requiring a manual download of an intermediate version first. Hackers can take advantage of exposed Zoom vulnerabilities quickly, Goodin noted, if Zoom users aren't updated right away. Minus the root access, of course.
I realize this question is about 3+ years old, but the accepted answer is a link only answer and that link is now dead. And the other answer is technically correct, but it still does not explain the actual hands-on process required to install the GNU versions of autoconf, automake and libtool in Mac OS X.
If you install autoconf from the git repository, you will need automake. However, if you instead download a distribution tarball for autoconf, you will not have that dependency. You should always install from a distribution tarball, and not from a vcs. In other words, if you want to install autoconf from source, just install it from source! But realize that "install from source" means "install from a distribution tarball"; it does not mean "install from git".

OneDrive Files On-Demand requires an Apple File System (APFS) formatted volume for syncing files. If you've been using a previous file system, it will be automatically updated when you upgrade to Mac OS Mojave.
When your cache path is placed on an external drive, OneDrive tries to minimize the number of copies of your data it makes, and in most cases, only one copy will exist, usually in the sync root. If your home drive runs into disk pressure, the operating system will evict (dataless) files from the sync root, but they can always be obtained again from the cloud if needed. In some cases a file might exist in both places for a short time, but over time OneDrive updates will optimize this further.
This is because the file is dataless in the sync root but exists as a full file in the cache path. However, if you pin a file and then double-click it to open it, it will be brought into your sync root, so there are two copies, one in each location.
The system logic to decide what files count against used disk space and what files do not is provided by the File Provider platform, not OneDrive or Microsoft. As per File Provider, files with data in the sync root do not count against your used disk space. If an application asks, "How much space is free on this disk?" that answer will exclude these files.
Pinned files, if your cache path is on your home drive. In this situation, the file in the cache path and the file in the sync root are Apple File System (APFS) clones of each other, and although there are two files, they share the same space on disk until one changes. File Provider won't evict files that have a clone, and such files will count against used disk space.
Yes. Spotlight indexes everything that is in your sync root but it will not make dataless files locally available. If you are looking for something in Spotlight that could only be read from the full file (such as image EXIF data), only locally available files will be indexed.

Please note that these changes will affect the way you currently use Charles for SSL Proxying. You will need to install and trust a new certificate, which will be automatically generated for you. You can install that certificate on your computer using the options in the Help menu, under SSL Proxying. You can also export the certificate, to send to other systems, or browse to download the certificate to install on mobile devices such as iPhones.
While there may never be a singular root method that works for all devices, developer Chainfire is at least making sure that the most common phones and tablets can be rooted using the same exploit. His CF Auto Root utility now works for over 300 devices on their latest firmware versions, which is about as ubiquitous as it can get. To top it off, the utility is incredibly easy to use, so I'll show you how to root most popular Android devices below.
If you are rooting a Samsung phone or tablet, the drivers you'll need are only available for Windows, but they can be downloaded at this link. Once you've downloaded the file, simply extract the ZIP, then launch the EXE file and follow the prompts to get the drivers installed on your system.
If you are rooting any non-Samsung Android device, you'll need a different set of drivers. These drivers are available for all major desktop operating systems, and can be downloaded at the links below.
Next, you'll need to download CF Auto Root, which is the tool you'll be using to actually root your device. There are different versions of CF Auto Root for each of the 300+ supported Android devices, so you'll need to be careful and make sure you download the right one.
Next, if you're using a Samsung device, I'll outline the root process in this step. Otherwise, if you're using any other Android phone or tablet, skip ahead to Step 5 to see the rooting instructions for your device.
From here, wait until the Log tab shows a message that says "Leave CS," then click the "Start" button to root your device. The entire root process will happen automatically, and when it's finished, your phone will reboot back into Android.
If you'd like to follow along with a visual guide, check out Neil's video below, which outlines the process of using CF Auto Root and Odin to root a Galaxy S6 Edge. Otherwise, to make sure everything went off without a hitch and you're successfully rooted now, skip ahead to Step 6.
If you're using a non-Samsung device, the actual rooting process is a tiny bit different. First, you'll need to put your device into bootloader mode. From a powered-off state, press and hold the volume down and power button simultaneously. Once you arrive at the bootloader menu (pictured below), connect your phone to your computer with a USB data cable.
Now that you're rooted, what's the first mod or app you installed to take advantage of your new Superuser status? Let us know in the comment section below, or drop us a line on Android Hacks' Facebook or Twitter, or Gadget Hacks' Facebook, Google+, or Twitter.

Yes, rooting this way will void your warranty on the S6 because it trips KNOX. I don't think there are any risks that your phone will stop working, though, as long as your exact model number is supported. 2ff7e9595c
