BTW, another one security vulnerabity was fixed in one of the latest 
patches(there is no this vulnerabity, at least, after January exadata 
patch bundle and CPUAPR2014), that allows to update/delete/insert on 
tables with "select" grant only. 
I found it later than it was fixed in main codeline, but this 
vulnerability wasn't listed in CPU advisories.
