Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons, wireguard-tools' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2019-0414 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This update is based on upstream 5.4.6 and fixes various potential
security issues related to buffer overflows, double frees, NUll pointer
dereferences, improper / missing input validations and so on. It also
adds other bugfixes all over the kernel.

Other fixes added in this update:
- x86/MCE/AMD: Do not use rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() in smca_configure(),
fixing an deadlock issue.
- x86/mm: Split vmalloc_sync_all(), fixing up big performance
regressions in some x86_64 workloads
(example: reaim.jobs_per_min -79.7% regression)
- The Intel cpu/gpu specific security fixes in upstream 5.3.11 broke
RC6 and that prevents CPUs from entering C-states, causing higher
power consumption. This update adds upstream fixes to restore
RC6 to a working state (fdo#112315)
- radeon changes in upstream 5.4 to remove the 'need_dma32 flag' has
been reverted as it caused radeon to malfunction on 32bit kernels
- iwlwifi fixes for firmware crashes (mga#25926), failures on warm
reboot, and performance fixes
