[3.8] bpo-37764: Fix infinite loop when parsing unstructured email headers. (GH-15239) by maxking · Pull Request #15686 · python/cpython

…aders. (pythonGH-15239)

Fixes a case in which email._header_value_parser.get_unstructured hangs the system for some invalid headers. This covers the cases in which the header contains either:
- a case without trailing whitespace
- an invalid encoded word

This fix should also be backported to 3.7 and 3.8
