Details:
Oracle Database Vault provides additional protections from malicious privileged users.  The protections include separation of duty for some tasks like user account management.

Impact:
Users granted SYSDBA privilege (CVE-2011-2322) or DV_ACCTMGR role (CVE-2011-3511) can change any user's password (including the Oracle Database Vault Owner user password) calling the OCIPasswordChange client API ('password' command in SqlPLUS).

Vendor Status:

Apply Oracle Critical Patch Update October 2011 available at Oracle Support.
