I found that informative but I am still stuck on what to do.  How do I
get these security fixes to make my 3.9 equal to 4.3 ???  I am
expecting yum or rpm to tell me if there is an update.  Since there is
no update available should I be assume that the fixes in 4.3 are
backported to my 3.9??

Sorry to sound like a dunce but rp etc is totally new to me.  I always
use slackware and do everything from source.
