Assuming this feature is activated by default, here is the impact description draft:

Title: Use of MD5 in OpenStack Glance image signature
Reporter: Daniel P. Berrange (Red Hat)
Products: Glance
Affects: =11.0.0

Description:
Daniel P. Berrange from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in Glance image signature. Glance computes cryptographic signature using MD5 hash of the image. By crafting a malicious image that produces a MD5 collision, a Glance backend operator may subvert the signature verification process, resulting in corrupted image. All Glance setups are affected.
