CVE-2016-0791 is a timing side-channel vulnerability in Jenkins versions before 1.650 and Jenkins LTS versions before 1.642.2. Jenkins compared CSRF protection tokens, known as crumbs, using a non-constant-time algorithm. Differences in comparison time can disclose information about token values, making iterative brute-force recovery of a valid crumb more practical and enabling circumvention of Jenkins CSRF protections.
