I'm the author of the upstream PR. The situation is a bit confusing; 
here are a couple clarifying points:

1. My PR had other commits for general fixup, but this is the one that 
really matters:

https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/pull/101/commits/748422f4941687c4f4a0bb317db7fca03923b01e

2. The upstream maintainer did not actually merge my PR. Instead, he 
made similar changes separately. This is the corresponding upstream 
change that really matters:

https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/commit/31ae1278aa4ba2e4832c279d71f3a06ef80ffbea


The C connector is handled as a subproject within the main server repo. 
The relevant commit was pulled in as part of this subproject update:

https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/5da6944ea3a592efefd1adc33b1280ad1de66688

Note the commit date of 2019-04-04. The most recent 10.3.x release is 
10.3.14 from 2019-04-02, two days earlier.

Thus, I expect that the fix will be in upstream 10.3.15, whenever that 
is released.


If you want to patch this in Debian meanwhile, I would suggest just 
taking the upstream commit:
https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/commit/31ae1278aa4ba2e4832c279d71f3a06ef80ffbea

I am fairly sure this change will work without any prerequisites, since 
that is what I did initially before I tried to make a more comprehensive 
fix.
