[3.5] bpo-37461: Fix infinite loop in parsing of specially crafted email headers (GH-14794) (#15446)
* [3.5] bpo-37461: Fix infinite loop in parsing of specially crafted email headers (GH-14794)
Some crafted email header would cause the get_parameter method to run in an
infinite loop causing a DoS attack surface when parsing those headers. This
patch fixes that by making sure the DQUOTE character is handled to prevent
going into an infinite loop.
