The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way logrotate uses the state file. When the state file does not exist, it is created with world-readable permission, allowing an unprivileged user to lock the state file, stopping any rotation.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
