On Windows, The IsLocal function does not correctly detect reserved device names in some cases.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.90%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.90%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

On Windows, The IsLocal function does not correctly detect reserved device names in some cases. Reserved names followed by spaces, such as "COM1 ", and reserved names "COM" and "LPT" followed by superscript 1, 2, or 3, are incorrectly reported as local. With fix, IsLocal now correctly reports these names as non-local.
