No you dont.
Arrays are all bounds checked; ..., that is, the following code will
throw an exception:
================================
class Foo {
static {
int[] m = new int[2];
System.out.println(m[34]);
}
}
================================
What do you mean by "overflow"? Do you mean this?
================================
class Foo {
static {
int m = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int k = Integer.MAX_VALUE + Integer.MAX_VALUE;
System.out.println(m);
System.out.println(k);
System.exit(0);
}
}
================================
if so, I don't see how that is an issue.

This is not quite true.
Java does not prevent integer overflows (it will not throw an
exception). So you still have to be careful about array indexes.

no, a browser written in java would not have buffer overflow/stack
