Kali Linux Version doesn't match ISO (?)

I downloaded "Kali 2018.3" from kali.org, and booted my thumbdrive from it. As of time of writing, this is the latest version I see on the official site.

However, when I run "uname -r" I see "4.17.0-kali1-amd64" This seems to me they don't match.

When I look for mac drivers, they are all for version 4.18 (but I thought I had the latest). What am I missing?

  From this page it seems that the correct command is # grep VERSION /etc/os-release. If not, you could upgrade apt update && apt -y full-upgrade. However, and before any of that, did you check the sha256sum of the iso? For security, you must.

The Linux kernel is just one piece of software that makes up Kali Linux. The version of Kali as a whole is 2018.3, and the version of the kernel is 4.17.0-kali1-amd64. There's no conflict or mismatch.
