This package has a SQL Injection instance in ROLLBACKWORKSPACE procedure. Dependening on what Oracle Workspace Manager release is installed, this PL/SQL package is owned by SYS (on older releases) or by WMSYS (on newer releases). A malicious user can call the vulnerable procedure of this package with specially crafted parameters and execute SQL statements with the elevated privileges of the package owner, depending on the system configuration it can be SYS or WMSYS.
