so the news of bugs in CPU's coming out atm have some serious issues
meltdown wont affect the switch but Spectre affects ARM processors so the switch could be affected.
"The paper describes using speculation around, for example, array bounds checks and branches instructions to leak information, with proof-of-concept attacks being successful on AMD, ARM, and Intel systems. Spectre attacks can be used both to leak information from the kernel to user programs, but also from virtualization hypervisors to guest systems."
