I don't know.

Then, I would suggest you download 4.3.x from kernel.org directly.
Take a look into /boot, copy the .config of your actual kernel into
the 4.3 sourcetree. You can follow these steps to compile your kernel:
make oldconfig (you'll have to make some decisions here)
make
make modules_install
make install
Your new kernel will live peacefully together with all your other Fedora
kernels installed. If you do not need it any longer some time in the
future, just delete the related files in /boot and /lib/modules, and
remove the sourcetree.
Have done that all my life, since I'm using a heavily customised
configuration which requires compiling a new kernel anyway.
