The statsd protocol (and extensions such as dogstatsd) allow mutiple metrics,separated by newlines, to be sent per packet. Metrics::Any::Adapter::DogStatsd which extends Metrics::Any::Adapter::Statsd, which has a similar vulnerability. In addition, the _tags function does not check tags for newlines or statsd control characters. The tags can be used for metric injections.
