Ars Technica has a new article that claims a secret SSH backdoor previously found in Fortinet hardware is in more of their products than they thought. Fortinet originally claimed that the backdoor only affected "older versions of Fortinet's FortiOS software." Apparently that was not the case and Fortinet has now posted an update to their blog that this issue is also found in their FortiSwitch, FortiAnalyzer and FortiCache products, including the current releases. Fortinet has just released a software update to eliminate this vulnerability. Looks like there's some patching to be done!
