I installed the new 1.08 firmware (to correct the SSL certificate issue) yesterday on both of my DCS-932L cameras.
Today, when I attempted to view one of the DCS-932L cameras in mydlink Lite (on my Android phone) it alerted me that a new firmware was available and that I should install it.  I clicked "Later" the first time, but the next time it alerted me I clicked "Upgrade".
The camera went down for a few moments and when it came back up, the status page showed it had been "upgraded" to version 1.07 again.

Furthermore, the other camera never changed when "Upgrade" was selected, and now both cameras show an "Upgrading..." dialogue when I try to view them in the app, even though I can see by IP address (and my DNR-202L) that they're both up and running.

Edit: The camera that never changed when I clicked "Upgrade" eventually reported that the "Firmware update failed due to timeout" and is now available in mydlink Lite, but each time I go to view it, I have to click "Later" when warned that a firmware update is available.  Ah, and just now the second camera reported the firmware update timeout and is available again.

I'm thinking that the mydlink server (at the time) may have only known about v1.07 (not v1.08) and saw that 1.07 was not installed overwrote the later version. I was a bit confused by your post. . . is this what seems to have happened?

I'm thinking that the mydlink server (at the time) may have only known about v1.07 (not v1.08) and saw that 1.07 was not installed overwrote the later version.

I think that is the most likely explanation.  (As of right now, mydlink Lite is still warning me that a firmware upgrade is available for my cameras, even though I've got them both on 1.08.)

To re-word what happened:
I installed 1.08 on each camera.
I tried to log in to each camera using mydlink Lite, and it warned me that an upgrade was available.
I clicked "Upgrade" and one of my cameras got 1.07 installed, and the other tried, but timed out.

Probably unrelated, but both cameras remained unavailable ("Upgrading...") in mydlink Lite for a lot longer than it actually took to upgrade the firmware and get the camera functioning again.

Did one of your cameras have v1.08, and mydlink downgraded it to v1.07?

Yes.
(The other tried, but timed out for some reason.)

Thanks for the update. I will report this immediately

I heard back from D-Link and they are already aware of this issue.

Security Patch & mydlink Users

mydlink account users who install this security patch on their Cloud camera may be prompted through the mydink.com website or mydlink mobile app to upgrade their Cloud camera firmware. Please disregard this upgrade notice as agreeing to the upgrade may re-install the last available pre-patch firmware version. Due to the urgency of addressing this security concern, this latest firmware was released to the general public prior to being certified within the mydlink service, which does not presently recognize the security patch as the most current official version. D-Link is actively working towards resolving this issue.
