In file package/busybox/Config.in there's a section looking like this:

config BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION
         string
         default "1.15.3"        if BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_15_X
         default "1.16.2"        if BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_16_X
         default "1.17.4"        if BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_17_X
         default "1.18.3"        if BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_18_X

You can change "1.18.3" to "1.18.4" (or, maybe better, "1.18.5", as it is a
bugfix release).

Then run make menuconfig again and exit saving for the .config to be 
updated.
