Oracle Error Message

ORA-38711: Corrupt flashback log block header: block string

Reason for the Error

A corrupt Flashback Database log file block header was read. More information was dumped to the trace file.

Solution

If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery must be performed instead.
