Its the same concept. If a user can't use his computer because of a local DoS its still a security issue.
To make this really simple, imagine if I ran a fork bomb on one server. That makes the server unavailable for users who want to log into it for whatever reason. Therefore it is a security issue.
It doesn't matter if its an end user device, one sever or a distributed system. I as the user cannot do what I want to do. That is what 'availability' means in the CIA triad.
