Overspeed protection

Could somebody explain to a simple engineer how an air temperature "spike" would cause the aircraft to go into an overspeed protection? I've seen this theory posited to explain an automatic pull-up, but I can't see why the aircraft would, either correctly or erroneously, "think" it was overspeeding.
