NVD CVE report [1] links Ubuntu bug [2] which has a very good description/discussion about this issue. It applies only to distros patching wpa-supplicant to allow non-root users (e.g. via netdev group) to load modules. This is not the case of Yocto. Quote: So upstream isn't vulnerable as they only expose the dbus interface to root. Downstreams like Ubuntu and Chromium added a patch that grants access to the netdev group. The patch is the problem, not the upstream code IMHO. There is also a commit [3] associated with this CVE, however that only provides build-time configuration to limit paths which can be accessed but it acts only as a mitigation for distros which allow non-root users to load crafted modules. The patch is included in version 2.11, however NVD has this CVE version-less, so explicit ignore is necessary.
