pypdf: Inefficient handling of non-whitespace inputs in read_until_whitespace
### Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires a call to `read_until_whitespace` with an input which does not have whitespace for a long time. ### Patches This has been fixed in [pypdf==6.15.0](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/releases/tag/6.15.0). ### Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR [#3947](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/pull/3947).
