Weakness in the Stonewall setup?

In the following setup of Stonewall Attack:

[FEN ""]
1. c3 null 2. d4 null 3. e3 null 4. f4 null 5. Bd3

Wouldn't that make the king vulnerable to diagonal attacks from a bishop or a queen? If yes, what variation of the opening may be used to counter this problem? If no, how? Thanks!
