That is exactly 2.4.18-pa45. Woody has been released with older kernel,
because it was known to be _stable_, which wasn't the case for new
kernels.

You can use netinst ISOs or lifimages featuring bleeding edge
kernels, which are also available.
Check http://pateam.esiee.fr/download.html
I guess these kernels can't be included in the existing stable release
ISO, since it has been freezed. Woody's Boot-Floppies defaults to 2.4.17,
which are configured without HIL and many other features (USB for
instance). For what it's worth, there are newer kernel-images available in
the archive.
