Since buffers are created to contain a finite amount of data, the extra information - which has to go somewhere - can overflow into adjacent buffers, corrupting or overwriting the valid data held in them.
Integer overflow. Overflow is a phenomenon where operations on 2 numbers exceeds the maximum (or goes below the minimum) value the data type can have. Usually it is thought that integral types are very large and people don't take into account the fact that sum of two numbers can be larger than the range.
