yes, and the immediate question is to find out why alter user is being issued.

My mistake, one correction:- the cache_id for all those 'row cache lock' is pointing to dc_users.

Hi, It's 11.2.0.4 Oracle database. We are suddenly seeing many application sql queries running slow and are showing 'library cache lock'. And checking the ASH for the exact time period when the issue started and the wait event appeared, we found few SYS sessions were doing 'ALTER USER' from program 'passchng.exe' and we are not able to see exact statement from sql_text for this (which may be because of its DDL and for DDL the AWR doesn't capture the text as of 11.2.0.4). So I wanted to understand if the ALTER USER command can cause such locking issues?

And also I see in the initial few minutes this session(Alter user session) was showing 'library cache lock' and I don't know how to get more information from the value of "handle address" but after some time, that session was showing the 'row cache lock' with cache_id pointing to the below cache objects. Are these can cause concurrency / "library cache lock" for other application queries?
