CVE-2016-0790 (Jenkins SECURITY-241) is an observable timing discrepancy in Jenkins API-token verification. Jenkins versions earlier than 1.650 and Jenkins LTS versions earlier than 1.642.2 compared API tokens using a non-constant-time algorithm. Comparison duration could vary according to how much of an attacker-supplied token matched the valid token, enabling incremental recovery of API-token values through repeated timing measurements.
