Summary

Removed a note about granting Lake Formation permissions for Amazon Data Firehose resource links.

Security assessment

The removed note previously emphasized the need to grant permissions to both resource links and target namespaces. Its absence could lead to misconfigured permissions, increasing the risk of unintended data access. However, there is no explicit evidence of a resolved vulnerability.
