    This patch fixes a flaw in the SREC parser which could cause a stack
overflow
    and potential secuiryt breach.

        PR binutils/17510
        * srec.c (srec_bad_byte): Increase size of buf to allow for
        negative values.
        (srec_scan): Use an unsigned char buffer to hold header bytes.
