This was the old scare scenario for "Plug Computing" way back when. It was new that you could fit a capable linux system (>1GHz core, >.5GB RAM, network interfaces, bluetooth etc) into something that hung off a socket and looked just like any other power supply or dumb device or whatever. Of course that was forseeing malicious placement of something that would be scanning for vulnerabilities, rather than a remote exploit of an unsecured device on a secure network.
