You should upgrade the Mac agents to the latest version right away. It is not recommended, but it works just fine. We typically keep the Mac agents ahead of the root server due to compatibility issues on the Mac with the client itself.
This particular issue breaks the Mac agent, so it is an important update to have to prevent this issue from happening, but I don’t know when this issue was first introduced so it could be that you are on a version before it was a problem, so you might not need this update, but I think you do.
