Advisory    
http://www.red-database-security.com/advisory/oracle_modify_data_via_inline_views.html

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)
