"Fundamental Oracle flaw revealed" by Infoweek
All,
Infoweek has identified a major flaw with the Oralce Database software and the SCN number. Here is the article http://www.infoworld.com/d/security/revealed-fundamental-oracle-flaw-184163?source=IFWNLE_nlt_daily_2012-01-17.
I am surprised this has not caused major news on the wire. This can impact EMC customer running Oracle as well. Oracle has a patch for it but Paul Venezia from infoweek considers it postponing the problem.
In addition, here is a Oracle forum thread discussing the issue

I recommend reading and I am very interested in what the field thinks of it. Looking forward to your comments.
Randy
