What the overshoot spec trying to specify is the max voltage at which device lifetime/reliability goals can be met. There are 2 types of Overshoot specifications needed: Static and Dynamic. Static overshoot is defined by the DC spec and is specified in the IBIS model by S_overshoot_high and S_overshoot_low. The device can except the elevated voltage for it's entire lifetime. Dynamic overshoot refers to a Voltage/Time relationship. Since we're talking about device lifetime/reliability, a vendor can specify elevated voltages (beyond the DC limit) that, if applied for a specific time, would yield the same device characteristics. IBIS model this with the D_overshoot_high, D_overshoot_low, and D_overshoot_time. As to your question, these values have to come from the vendor since they are a function of the specific CMOS process used.
