The only way to stop this hack from working is a redesign of the Tegra X1 processor.
Eurogamer reports, the exploit comes via well known console hackers fail0verflow and is called ShofEL2. The vulnerability was disclosed to Nvidia, Nintendo, and Google (due to the Tegra chip's use in Android devices) a while ago, but now a public release has happened simply because so many people are already aware of the vulnerability.
In the video below, you can see Linux running on an unmodified Switch thanks to the exploit.
