no problem, see here:

"The ability to load a new process image without the direct aid of the 
kernel is important in many scenarios. For example: a program (e.g. 
shellcode) could load a binary off the wire and execute it without first 
creating a copy on disk; or, a program could extract a binary from an 
encrypted data store and execute it without creating a plain text image 
on the disk. Userland exec is useful for any situation where it is 
preferable not to create a file on the disk when executing a program."
