Any material that is mostly liquid like your body will boil away and evaporate in the vacuum of space.
The pressure inside your body provided by your hart explodes the blood vessels in the vacuum where there is nothing pushing back and the blood flows out. Seal off the finger or hand and get back inside where there is pressure. Your hand can survive without blood for a short while.

To answer your question, death is next unless you get inside, fast. This is why the spacewalk was cut short. Humans cannot be exposed to a vacuum. Fortunately, the tear didn't penetrate all the way.

If the flaw had penetrated the glove completely he would probably have died before he could get back in the space ship.

I believe that it has been proven that humans can survive in space for 30 seconds. Given you've done your job, and you're heading back inside the shuttle, you should be ok.
