While this directory is created when logcheck is installed, and while it exists there is no vulnerability, if at any time this directory is removed, the potential for exploitation exists.
For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1-13.1woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1-13.2.
