The GHOST_Amount borrow shares, that are not owned by anyone, earn interest in _accrueInterest. This interest keeps compounding and cannot be repaid as the GHOST borrow shares are not owned by anyone. As the withdrawable funds are computed as supplyAssets - borrowAssets, the borrow shares' assets equivalent leads to a reduction in withdrawable funds, basically bad debt. Note that while the initial borrow shares only account for 1 asset, this can be increased by increasing the share price. The share price can be inflated arbitrarily high,
Impact low
It's just 1e6 virtual borrow shares earning interest on 1 wei, so the bad debt accrued is negligible even for very high borrow rates.
Likelihood high
The GHOST_Amount debt shares exist in every market, it's an issue in every market.
