rtw_cfg80211_monitor_if_xmit_entry() removes the radiotap header and
then reads the 802.11 frame control field without checking that a base
802.11 header remains.

The data path also pulls the calculated 802.11, QoS and SNAP header
span before confirming that the skb contains it. A truncated frame can
therefore cause out-of-bounds reads or leave insufficient data for the
Ethernet address writes.

Reject frames that do not contain the base 802.11 header and data
frames that do not contain their complete calculated header span.
