It's inherently not vulnerable to the Spectre/Meltdown family of attacks. They rely on speculative, out-of-order execution on modern CPUs, but Itanium is an in-order core with very limited (and software-controlled) speculation.
It's actually not vulnerable to a bunch of other attacks as well (e.g. a buffer overflow cannot overwrite the return address on Itanium).
