The leaks were hard to reach in practice and the impact was low. The callers provide a buffer the same number of bytes as the source string (plus one for NUL terminator) as a starting size, and libc never increases the number of characters. But, if the byte length of one of the converted characters is larger, then it might need a larger destination buffer. Previously, in that case, the working buffers would be leaked. Even in that case, the call typically happens within a context that will soon be reset. Regardless, it's worth fixing to avoid such assumptions, and the fix is simple so it's worth backporting.
