You can fix this error in Oracle by following the below steps

This may be due to a transient network error or a real block corruption. Check your network for any errors. Analyze the segment to which the file belongs. If there is indeed a corruption, try to restore the block using RMAN block recovery. If there is a trace file, report the errors in it to Oracle Support Services. If analyze did not report an error and network did not have any error, report the problem to Oracle Support Services as this appears to be a software error.
