Summary

Vulnerability in Net::Statsd for Perl before version 0.13 allows metric injection. Metric names are not sanitized for newlines, colons, or pipes, enabling injection of fake metrics. The update_stats and gauge methods do not validate numeric values.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject false data into the monitoring system, potentially causing false alarms or hiding real issues.

Recommendation

Update Net::Statsd to version 0.13 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

Net::Statsd versions before 0.13 for Perl allow metric injections. The metric names are not checked for newlines, colons or pipes. Metrics generated from untrusted sources could inject additional statsd metrics. The update_stats (used for updating counters) and gauge methods do not check that values are numeric (which would block metric injection).
