AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation about registering connections as Glue Data Catalog, added note about Lambda-less connectors, reorganized and expanded connector list
Security assessment
The change adds clarification about fine-grained access control with Lake Formation for federated connectors, which is a security feature. However, there's no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability - this appears to be routine documentation improvement about security capabilities.
