How do you disable directory listing in Amazon Cloudfront?

Question

I have an S3 bucket. When accessing its root URL via https://s3.amazonaws.com/... it tells me Access denied.

The S3 bucket has no permission rules defined for Everyone.

However, accessing the same bucket via our Cloudfront Domain Name a full ListBucketResult is being returned.

Cloudfront is giving a full directory listing, which we want to prevent.

How can I disable that listing via Cloudfront?

I tried doing it by invalidating all objects (*) in Cloudfront, without effect.
