Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) released three updates in its Patch Tuesday report, plugging a total of eight security holes, including a critical image flaw that allowed hackers to launch malicious attacks remotely.

Altogether, the March patch bundle addressed critical vulnerabilities in the Windows kernel and errors ranked “important” in the DNS and WINS servers and Secure Channel that could enable hackers to commit identity theft by redirecting users to spoofed Web sites.

However, the March patch bundle did not include a fix for an actively exploited Microsoft Office Excel vulnerability that allowed hackers to launch malware attacks via infected spreadsheet files.

Why is there always one thing Microsoft forgets to fix?
