Summary

Updated KMS key documentation to clarify ARN format requirements and expand permission requirements to include DataAccessRoleArn

Security assessment

The changes provide clearer instructions about KMS key ARN formats and expand required permissions to include DataAccessRoleArn. While related to encryption security practices, there is no evidence this addresses a specific vulnerability.
