Yes.

A buffer overflow occurs when you put more stuff into it than it can hold. For a stack, it means you put or pushed onto the stack more information than the size of the stack.

If I have a stack that can hold 10 entries, then putting 11 in the stack will overflow it.

A buffer overflow occurs when a program attempts to write data to a buffer, but exceeds the boundaries of the buffer, similar to Java's "Array Out of Bounds Exception." This could happen with poorly written code that fails to check for the end of the buffer, or it could be exploited maliciously. One exploitative example would be a stack buffer overflow, in which data is copied to a local variable on the stack. But if the data is larger than the local variable can contain, the extra data will "spill over" onto nearby memory. This would allow one to overwrite data that was not intended to be altered.
