NVD Description

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

Jenkins before 1.650 and LTS before 1.642.2 do not use a constant-time algorithm to verify API tokens, which makes it easier for remote attackers to determine API tokens via a brute-force approach.
