Buffer Overflow attack

Guys few days ago

I had participated in an online hacking competition organised by kurukshetra university

There was question asked in that level about buffer overflow attack.

After doing some search on google .I was able to crack that level, but i still don't understand actually what exactly it is and how one can avoid it?

can anyone explain me in brief what it is?
