infoworld say this bug is really ugly.

"Apparently, the Oracle System Change Number (SCN), a sort of time stamp applied to every database transaction, could be raised artificially -- either through a bug that had recently surfaced or through a malicious attack that required very low database privileges." http://ifwnewsletters.newsletters.infoworld.com/t/7944027/121304526/606338/0/
