NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jetty-start package and not the jetty-start package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Jetty through 9.4.x is prone to a timing channel in util/security/Password.java, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by observing elapsed times before rejection of incorrect passwords.
