Details
#######
Updates, deletes and inserts are possible with least-privilege via inline
views. A user with create session only can insert/update/delete data (e.g.
the dual table). This bug is similar but not identical to the bug which was
fixed in the July 2006 CPU (Modify Data via views). No workarounds
available.


Samples
#######
delete from (specially crafted inline view)
insert into (specially crafted inline view)
update (specially crafted inline view)
