According the McAfee KB, this is a valid BO occurring when a process is trying to utilize the MSJAVA.DLL. It says if you have DEP turned on, DEP will block this from occurring and McAfee will not detect this.
However, after a google search of your BO issue, read the following:

Hope this helps.
Buffer Overflow errors occur because there is program trying to overload the buffer to execute code as a result. In this instance, your error is pointing to ADVAPI32.DLL trying to access a registry entry. This has caused McAfee to respond by stopping it because it is happening during a buffer overflow and not regular operation.
This usually points to malware in your system. I would try running online AV scans from other vendors like Kaspersky or Bit Defender to check your system using other AV engines.
If you get nothing from the scans, try reinstalling McAfee. If that still doesn't work, try doing a repair install on your system. Maybe you did have malware at one point and this file just needs to be repaired.
Try these out and let me know if one works for you.
OK, lets approach this logically....
First can you download and install HiJackthis from http://www.hijackthis.de and then run it, Do a System Scan and post the logfile as an attachment (or a link to the results) here and let me have a look at it.
We'll get it sorted......
Cheers
