Solutions

CNA: Upgrade to Net::Statsd::Lite version 0.10.1 or later.

Workarounds

CNA: In version 0.10.0, use the secure_set_add method which logs an HMAC digest of the value instead of the raw value. Validate that all values sent to the client based on untrusted data do not contain metric injections.
