On a headless VM, almost certainly it's not a worry, since that bug needs a physical port and the driver binding to a plugged-in device (so basically it's never reached). You could even prove it running lsmod showing the module is not loaded (so "not applicable"). Unfortunately the CVSS score doesn't carry reachability information, and not just for the kernel CVEs.
